Mr. Penumbra's 24-hour bookstore

Mr. Penumbra's 24-hour bookstore by Robin Sloan 288 pgs.

This book is so much fun.  Clay Jannon loses his less than satisfying day job as a web designer and ends up the night clerk at this odd bookstore where there is rarely ever a sale but several people come in to borrow from a special collection.  Wonder why this appeals to a librarian so much?  This fast-paced fable entertains and gets you thinking about the value of books and knowledge and also gives you a view of the digital divide.  You know some people aren't Internet addicts by choice.
