Are you in need of a beautiful art book to elegantly grace your table? Perhaps for that photoshoot that Dwell is coming to do of your living room? If so, the Friends have your back. We suggest placing this baby prominently on your coffee table. We think it's actually pretty cool that a former president did this.
We know you're an erudite bunch. After all, you're here, reading this, aren't you? (silence.) Why not come out on Thursday, October 6, and share your superior grey matter with the rest of the world? (Click on image to enlarge.) Maybe, just maybe, you'll be the lucky winner of new speedboat!
Wool by Hugh Howey I highly recommend this first book in the Silo trilogy (dystopian, science fiction). Imagine growing up underground, in a silo. The outside world is toxic. The inside world lives by a set of extreme rules, in order to maintain peace and order. Authority is not questioned. Women must wait for permission to have a baby, otherwise the silo will become overpopulated. Citizens who work with their hands live in the lowest levels of the silo; administrators live in the highest levels of the silo. Now imagine what happens when one person questions those rules. Peace and order is threatened. Or is it? Loved the strong female lead character. This book kept me guessing until the end. --Sharon, Director of the Jones Library
