Quiet Introverts

My library has a new arrangement making it part of a network of libraries letting their patrons borrow books from any of the participants. This is great for those living in a small town.
My personal library is filled with old books found at used book sales. New books are a rarity.
Yet I look at the new books finding some I would like to read but can't as there are no copies in my library or the town library.
This was true of "Quiet". Until I found I could get an audio copy the book was doomed to molder on my "Want To Read" list.
This is an interesting book if a bit long and dull at times. Maybe extroverts never wonder why they are the way they are. Introverts do and want to know why they are different.
Why do I feel like my brain is fried after a day in town and need to go walking or hole up for a time when I get home?
Why does putting book ads in a goat magazine try to trigger a panic attack?
Why do I enjoy sitting alone working on my computer in a made up world?
Why do I have to pretend to be on stage to make a speech or teach a class?
Because I'm evidently an introvert, a normal everyday garden variety of introvert.
It does make the political circus more interesting as the classic extrovert Trump goes up against the classic introvert Clinton. So many things make more sense with this approach.
I wonder how many more of my "Want To Read" list can be found this way. I will have to check next time I want a new book to read. Three at a time seems to be my limit.
