Birthday Book Hunt

 We had the recent pleasure of helping a neighbor find a few dozen books from his wife's to-read list for her birthday. Some were easy - classics we always stock. Others (like the Infinite Jest pictured) just happened to burst through our doors in the nick of time. Better than an Easter egg hunt by far.

In case you have not heard, The Book Thief has been chosen not only for the 2012 One Book, One Chicago, but also as an adaptation for Steppenwolf Theatre. Come get it. Read it. Don't thief it. (wa wa)
