Although it’s important for a modern hamster to be well-read, everyone has a favorite classic they return to time and again…
Mine’s The Old Ham and the Sea, by Ernest Hammingway.
We’d love to check this cutie out at our library, Meagan E.
The Littlest Library Patron

I wonder if he has trouble with the card catalog.
*giggle*
HEhehehehe!
He probably lives in it. A card catalog would probably be an awesome hammy apartment house.
…as long as the library cat wasn’t in it, that is.
“Hey babe, can I get your call number? I could gaze into those Dewey eyes all night long.”
“ISBN noticing you checking out my decimal system.”
“Feel free to browse my stacks.”
You an overdue library book, hammy? Cause you’ve got “fine” written all over you.
*high-fives J.* Okay, that one may have given 260O’s a run for the money.
I’m guessing Meagan E.’s is Hamlet.
“What a piece of work is ham! How noble in reason!”
“How infinite in whiskarage. In fur and earsies how express and admirable.”
I thought he’d go for Seuss’ Green Eggs and Ham.
“I do not like Green Eggs and Ham. I do not like them, Sam I Am ….”
I will not eat them with a goat I will not eat them in a coat.
I will not eat them in a box, I will not eat them with a fox.
I will not eat them at a dance
I will not eat them wearing pants.
Not even Hammerpants?

Can’t touch that.
Don’t tell the library cat…
I bet the little guy’s looking for a book to read on vacation in the Hamtons.
Or Hamburg, Germany.
Or for a more adventurous trip: the Hamalayas.
These comments make me want to do the Hamster Dance.
Izzat significantly diff’runt, from the Secretariat Dance???
*ding dong* Someone’s at the door…who could it be??
I LOVED the Hamster Dance!! It was taken offline by some copyright issues, I believe. Once upon a time, I even had the T-shirt.
Oh, you’re the other person in the world who still likes it.
Ummmm, me three?? (said in a teeny tiny little voice with eyes downcast and hand raised tentatively in the air)
“Beep” on dat widdwe pink nosie……
The Italian’s phrase equivalent to bookworm in English is topo di biblioteca, which literally mean library mouse- I think we can lump hamsters into this group
Ha ha! Widdle guy is seriesly cute.
That little guy has a hint of disapproval in the 2nd picture.
He disapproves of the books not being shelved in their proper order.
While the little guy is seriously adorable, I’m more interested in dating the person who owns such well-stocked bookshelves! My husband will understand.
That looks like an English major’s bookshelf.
Mr Darcy recommends the improvement of the mind by extensive reading.
…and keep your sisters away from the conniving Mr. Wick-Ham.
I feel bad–I must admit that I looked at the books more than the cute in this picture. And I see the owner is a Vonnegut fan! Rock on!
Hammyham knows that books should be shelved by genre, and then by author! This is disgraceful! He stares at you reprovingly!
If he’s an American Hambrarian, he could use Dewey:
http://www.oclc.org/dewey/
Or Library of Congress:
http://www.loc.gov/catdir/cpso/lcco/
NB: Dewey is found more often in public libraries; LoC in university and other private research libraries. Not sure what the standard is in Ham libraries.
Chewy decimal, perhaps?
Given their reproductive proclivities, I’d say Doublin’ Core (that’s a real librarian joke
) .
Your puns are showing MARCed improvement.
OCLC why you might think so.
*snerks* at the use of the word
“proclivities”
[even though it was used in a perfectly appropriate phrase. To me, "proclivities" is one of those words which kinda sounds raunchy, all by itself!!??]
I think he’s searching for Grain Expectations. His favorite character is Ms. Havish-ham.
PS: Shouldn’t that be “The Old Ham and the Seeds”?
He’s looking for Margaret Atwood’s “A Ham-Maid’s Tail”.
I wanna shake the owner’s hand for having such impeccable taste in literature!
Thankfully you decided not to go with the pun on that one.
“I wanna shake the owner’s ham…”
Peeved hammy sez
“SHHHHHHHHHHH!!!! NO TALKING!!!”
How am I the only person who is wondering what is in that tube on the secodn shelf? “Temptations ingredients”…?
It says “For external use only.”
I think he’s after a Sherlock Hams mystery.
Love those books!
I see that Mousey-pants prefers Fitzgerald. I agree with his choice of literature.
er, sorry…he’s a hammy…my bad.
