NEW BEDFORD, Mass. – The book returned to the New Bedford Public Library in Massachusetts this week wasn't overdue by a week, a month or even a year. It was nearly a century overdue, and the fine came to $361.35.

"Facts I Ought to Know about the Government of My Country" was supposed to have been returned by May 10, 1910.

Stanley Dudek told the Standard Times newspaper he came across the book while going through things that had belonged to his mother, who died about 10 years ago. He decided that returning the book to the city was the right thing to do.

The overdue book fine was a penny a day in 1910. But Dudek wasn't asked to pay it.

The library plans to display the book in its special collection.

Yesterday Qatarliving Pakistan Group (QLPG) played Cricket match with Qatarliving Cricket Group (QLCG), with the support of Qatarliving Volunteers Group (QLVG), Qatarliving Social Group and Qatarliving Books Group (QLBG).

How interesting it was when all these above Group Managers and Members met for one cause - Raise Funds for the People of Swat - Pakistan. 2.5 million people living in tents in the hot weather, lack of food, water, medicines and other living necessities.

We must salute to Mr. Omar Waheed for taking an initiative to start this cricket match : http://www.qatarlivi...

The main aim of this match by the Pakistan Group Manager 'Xray' was to bring all Pakistanis living in Qatar under Umbrella of Pakistan Group on Qatarliving.com

Book Review: The Testament by Eric Van Lustbader

Of the many thrillers I've read, never in my life have I encountered such a book. A very well written novel, an outstanding style of plot elements, a magnificent dialogue, and, the best of all, the non-fictional plot encoded in the book. Eric Van Lustbader has definitely proven that he is one of the most remarkable writers of thriller. Every since I've finished reading all of Dan Brown's current novels, I'd had a difficult time searching for an author of thriller that can match Brown's writings; it's wonderful to say that I'd succeeded.

Happy reading to soon-to-be fans of the book.

Hi guys,

I've just finished ploughing my way through...

Trick or Treatment? Alternative Medicine On Trial by Simon Singh and Edzard Ernst

and

Irrationality by Stuart Sutherland

I'm looking for non fiction, science (medicine, psychology, evolutionary biology, quackery etc...)

Also if anyone knows a good bookstore with a science section please let me know! I only know Virgin in Villagio and apparently their bookshop is from a time before the Age of Enlightenment.
