Mr. Penumbra's 24-Hour Bookstore: A Novel

Mr. Penumbra's 24-Hour Bookstore - Robin Sloan I don't know what to call this book. I enjoyed it. It's a fast paced, and quick read. Clay gets a job a Mr. Penumbra's 24-hour book store. But he's really not selling books. What is he doing? Clay works the night shift and with the help of his Google friend (the story takes place in SF near Google), will use computer technology to try and solve an age old mystery, a mystery that not every one wants solved.The story is filled with amusing antidotes and characters. There is mystery and intrigue, but the story is lighter and not burdening. The author has put together a book for book lovers.
