Having One’s Quake and Reading, Too

What a terrific design for a library (“Reading Room,” by Barbara Thornburg, SoCal Style, Dec. 13). However, when the next substantial earthquake comes, I hope the owner isn’t sitting inside the stacks, reading. The irony of an ad executive and MTV director being killed by books would be just too much to contemplate. Just imagine the look on newsman Kurt Loder’s face when he reads that story.
