rotten luck 
out of his hands before it occurred to himhad a chance to get them around someones throat 

   ebooks aint books 


he wanted to read With William Burroughs: A Report from the Bunker   sounded desperate an who doesnt comportcontend with DesperateDesperation on occasionCOMON
                                                                   it was Burroughs  Burroughs of Beat fame cut-ups queer renegade Naked Lunch addict fame who shot his wife in the headkilling her at a party performing the old William Tell bit of shooting an apple off the top of his sons head 
                                                            that stuck with him
he watched the television show the heroic swashbuckling adventures but thought the crossbow was cheaty 
                                                                                                                 progress

of the last ten books he went on-line to see if the library had access to hard copies in its system sevenSEVEN  were available only as ebooks 

he approached a librarian seated at the front desk to see what could be done about accessing a physical book

she apprised him that if a book was acquired as an ebook THAT was the only available copy provided the Public  it would not acquire a printed one 
                                  progress
You understand the library has effectively chosen to censor books an prefer prejudice against some of its patrons  Lemme put it another way it intends to offer only one ice cream flavour 
                                                                           progress 

he no longer had to imagine all the books he wouldnt read because there wasnt time enough rather he was denied them
