The Things Out There
“Not only is the universe stranger than we imagine, it is stranger than we can imagine.”
-Sir Arthur Eddington English astronomer (1882 - 1944)
One nice thing about being an adult is that generally you aren’t forced to learn about things that bore you. If I’m not interested, I don’t have to read whole books on botany or articles about the role of archivists in state government. I can spend my free time reading all of Stephen King’s books or learning how to grow perfect roses. On the other hand, it is easy to get stuck only learning about the couple subjects that most interest you and ignoring everything else. There are some strange things out there, that you may not even have imagined exist.
The library has books about subjects so wild we thought you might have overlooked them. Maybe one of these new things might pique an interest you didn’t even know you had.
