Any fans out there of this wonderful, wonderful book?

It's a little bit of mystery, somewhat about Google and also about code cracking. Also deals with children's literature and a bit about history.

It is one cool little book!

The book's title reminds me of "Mr. Magorium's Wonder Emporium." In other words, just a matter of time before it becomes a movie.

I got to hear the author speak at the book club I belong to here in Sacramento. He seems like a really nice guy, surprised by his success.

It's smartness is subtle and sneaks up on you. I heard about it from a coworker and was not expecting to get roped in.
