The International Space Station Library Catalog

Multiple media are available for borrowing from the Library of the International Space Station.  Lots of Sci-fi, though the music selection is fairly anemic.  I like that they've got a set of some of Analog Magazine's sci-fi stories, and how about the Wodehouse Omnibus!?  Nifty.  Were I an author of one of those works, I think I'd briefly feel immense pleasure to think of my work in orbit around the Earth...then I'd see Dan Brown and Piers Anthony on the list, and quickly change my mind.

Christ, can you imagine when, having destroyed out civilization in an atomic holocaust, all that remains of our material culture will be some goddamn Xanth paperbacks?  Grim, really.
