Late Library Return

In the News: This category features news-related prompts.
Book returned to Ohio library after 60 years
What was the book and why did they keep it so long?

Source: Original story

Winner! (12/21/09)
The book is "War and Peace," and they haven't returned it yet because they are still reading it. Should be about half-way done by now, though.
Winner: Mike Trippiedi
Reason: I'll admit I've never read "War and Peace" but I always find myself wondering if it's equally divided. 50% war and 50% peace. I find peace often ends up short-changed.

    Well, If this was Wes I'd say that the book was Atlas Shrugged by Ayn Rynd, that guy has tried to read that book 5 times since we met, and still cant finish the first chapter.

    I'm an expert at this book's stellar plan.
    Now I'll return it to you, if I can.
    In honor, of course,
    Of my fifteenth divorce,
    Here's the book: How to Catch a Man.
