Robin Sloan's "Mr. Penumbra's 24-Hour Bookstore came onto my radar over the summer with some Facebook friends remarking about the fascinating beliefs meme of Codex Vitae which was inspired by the book, which I find interesting as well, but i had other books to read. I wandered around my library and picked it up last week to read and finished it in a couple of days. The narrator who works the overnight shift at Mr. Penumbra's 24-Hour Bookstore has a geeky quality like Magic Ex Libris's Isaac Vainio and a team of geeky friends who help him solve the mystery surrounding the bookstore. It's a fascinating intersection of history, Literature and computers that surrounds the book. :)
