Ooooh, I've been wanting to read that!
When I went to Borders to buy this yesterday, I wasn't sure where it would be, exactly, so I hopped on one of their computers. But one of the bored employees there asked me what I was looking for, so I gave her the title. Then she hopped on her computer, even though I didn't need any help! Meanwhile, another bored employee asked what we were looking for. I told him the title. Then he said, "That's in 19th century history." On brother. The Dust Bowl happened in the 19th century? I didn't correct him. I just started wandering over to the history section. Then the first employee followed me over and said, "It's actually in modern history."
Oh, OK. Thanks, overstaffed Help Desk.
Oy, thanks. I'd better buy it soon before they misshelve it!
19th century history. Hehe
