I just finished reading another book that I absolutely loved.....
Mr Penumbra's 24 Hour Bookstore
by Robin Sloan
I fell totally in love with the bookstore, Ajax Penumbra, the "book within a book" that is the protagonists favorite all time read, a trilogy named The Dragon Song Chronicles and I hope Mr Sloan writes the trilogy someday, even if it is meant to appeal to nerdy 6th graders.....I am still one.
The book details the search for why Mr Penumbra's Bookstore has certain strange clientele who take out books from the WayBack List as if from a library and why the clerks need to keep a logbook of how these people are looking, acting as well as what they take out.
The story involves the high tech world (possibly all made up as much as the DS Chronicles, a bunch of people who work at Google, a Secret Society, a made up computer software company whose fame is on modeling the perfect boob to be used in computer games.....and its CEO who is the best friend of the protagonist, and how they, (a rogue, a kindly old wizard, a scholarly dwarf and a warrior) go on a quest to find the truth, utilizing the gifts of friends, internet contacts (who says we cannot be wonderful friends) and people they meet on the way.....in a series of laocations I wish I could visit.
