There must be a reason why the books I need at the library are always located on the very bottom shelf, forcing a corpulent middle-aged lady in a summer dress to lie on the floor and make a total spectacle out of herself to reach them.
On the positive side, I just discovered that an article of mine was cited in a dissertation written in Catalonia. And if I make an effort, I can actually figure out what is being said.
“a corpulent middle-aged lady lying on the floor to get the book” – I am wondering who does the job for the young beautiful lady.

Actually, you are right! I have some very long-living people in the family. I should totally make it to 90. I hear people have the greatest fun in their eighties.
Yay, I’m not even middle-aged yet!

The truly subversive books are placed at an appropriate level for children to seek out and enjoy.
For everyone else, additional physical labour shall be required. 🙂

So you think I made the librarian get on the floor for me? That’s some opinion to have of your friend! 🙂

I honestly thought these were the kind of Library stacks where only librarians are allowed to circulate.
