Mr. Penumbra's 24-Hour Bookstore - Robin Sloan

Mr. Penumbra's 24-Hour Bookstore - Robin Sloan - 288 pages

Okay, so if you love books/bookstores, clandestine mysteries, high fantasy nerdery, and don't mind a couple easy-way-out plot devices, this book is your man.  Or...book.  Whatever, the point is that if Dan Brown, Tolkien, and Ernest Cline had a three way baby book, this would pretty much be it.  It is a shameless geek out about old books, mysterious legacies, high fantasy, secret societies, Googling EVERYTHING, AD&D references, movie props, computer hacking, and buddy adventuring, wrapped up in earnest humor and a glow in the dark cover (seriously, it glows in the dark!).  What is not to love here?!
