I just thought this was a neat little human interest story.

MARSHFIELD, Wis. (AP) - It's a novel but it's created a mystery - where has the overdue book been for the past 57 years? "We don't have records that go back that far," said Lori Belongia, director of the Marshfield Public Library. "We don't know who checked it out."

The book "Northern Lights" by Roger Vercel turned up in the book drop about a month ago.

Published in 1948, its most recent checkout stamp reads either March or May 10 of 1950.

Watched it a few times and the only part where I laughed was his stand up at the beginning.
