Stephanie and I went to the bookstore last night so she could use a gift certificate she received, and I wrote down a bunch of interesting books that I intend to either buy, check out from the library, or investigate further at some point in the future. Let me know if you've read any of them and if they're worth picking up. Also, if any of them sound interesting for book club, throw those out, too.
