From the site: "Remember when men were men, librarians were women, and computers were the size of a room? Good times. Don't let them slip away."


It's always good to hold on to those good old days, when people read hardcover books and librarians wore buns.  Right?  Right?

You can now buy candles whose scents are reminiscent of various authors.

Yes, really, author-scented candles.

The original scents are Edgar Allan Poe (a mix of patchouli, absinthe and sandalwood), Jane Austen (gardenia, tuberose and jasmine) Henry Thoreau (a blend of cedar, moss and juniper) Walt Whitman (grass, thyme and clover), and Charles Dickens (tangerine, juniper and clove).

If more were going to be created, I’d have to suggest the Hunter S. Thompson (motor oil, marijuana smoke and the paranoid sweat of fear).
