The books flow in an out, as I weed out the ones I didn't like and reread the ones I did.
The Time Traveller's Wife is one of the top five books I've read this year. Don't be discouraged by its SciFi theme - it's a beautiful love story.
Thud was really good. I'm always surprised that Pratchett manages to keep the watch line of his books interesting after so many titles.
The Thunderbolt Kid was such a great read that I bought Neither here Nor there right away. I haven't finished that yet, I switched books about halfway.
Pornopung is a book I never got to read when I was in Norway, and bought on my last day there in the hopes that it would make good reading on the plane. That's the only time I've read in it, I wasn't too thrilled.
The Undercover Economist was an impulse buy on the airport, because I loved Freakonomics. I was two chapters into it when I found Thud! and switched, but this one I'll finish.
I've read Cradle earlier, but couldn't remember much about it. A few pages into it I remember that it was far from being my favourite Clarke book, and I tossed it aside.

I've seen several people lately post pics of their summer reading stack. Since I am out of ideas today, I will borrow from them. First up for consumption is The Help since it is for a book club. The others are all suggestions from friends or family.
Yum. Books.

Another view of the shelves as they were in 2002 - a safety hazard, which is why the collection moved to its present locale in Stauffer Library.
Empty shelves in anticipation of the incoming collection. Note: the brown border on the ceiling is the base of a tall, pyramid-shaped alcove over the desks that cannot be seen from this angle.

These pix are of my apartment, not my store, by the way. The store is 2100sf crammed with 50,000 books.
