    She does. She also knows that many corporate libraries were shut down and went electronic with Fed Dollars during Bvsh II too.

    Half way through QB VII by Leon Uris.

    A masterpiece.

    Sharp Objects, another Gillian Flynn novel. She's good at her craft, which is writing compelling and insightful fiction.
    All the world’s a stage, but obviously the play is unrehearsed and everybody is ad-libbing his lines. Maybe that’s why it’s hard to tell if we’re living in a tragedy or a farce.

    Currently finishing up "Homeland", by Cory Doctorow. It's the sequel to his book,"Little Brother". Marketed as "Teen reader" and "Yound Adult", but a great book, nonetheless.

    Medium Raw, by Anthony Bourdain. The XYL went on a used book buying spree a while back, lots of Neil Gaiman, Anthony Bourdain and Gillian Flynn, so I'm working my way though it all.

    Dark Places, the last of the Gillian Flynn novels. Done with all the Bourdain and Gaiman books the XYL bought too; I don't know what I'm going to do once I'm done with this one.
