Sunday

I finished the David Handler book today. I'm starting the next 14-day book MR PENUMBRA'S 24-HOUR BOOKSTORE by Robin Sloan. Here is a description:

The Great Recession has shuffled Clay Jannon out of his life as a San Francisco Web-design drone—and serendipity, sheer curiosity, and the ability to climb a ladder like a monkey has landed him a new gig working the night shift at Mr. Penumbra’s 24-Hour Bookstore. But after just a few days on the job, Clay begins to realize that this store is even more curious than the name suggests. There are only a few customers, but they come in repeatedly and never seem to actually buy anything, instead “checking out” impossibly obscure volumes from strange corners of the store, all according to some elaborate, long-standing arrangement with the gnomic Mr. Penumbra. The store must be a front for something larger, Clay concludes, and soon he’s embarked on a complex analysis of the customers’ behavior and roped his friends into helping to figure out just what’s going on. But once they bring their findings to Mr. Penumbra, it turns out the secrets extend far outside the walls of the bookstore.

It was published October 2012 and has 304 pages.

It has been a cool, dark-ish Sunday. Perfect. Tonight we either have football to watch (Steelers are playing) and/or The Walking Dead and Comic Book Men.

And ... back at it tomorrow.  Debate tomorrow night. I'll see if I get a chance to post.

Much love,
