Oh, the Reg. I dream about this place at least once a week. No exaggeration. I used it in elementary school, high school, not to mention college. Different floors for different moods. Fourth floor was my jam. I studied in the stacks, in the basement coffee shop (“Ex Libris”), in the cubicles, on the wide wooden tables, in the soft orange chairs by the windows. I hid out and read all the books by Vonnegut, Irving, E.L. Doctorow on the third floor bookshelves. I slept there, flirted there, procrastinated, cried, daydreamed, disobeyed my parents there. No wonder it still haunts me.
