A page turner, not just your average Titanic story. Like the back cover says "it is a valuable contribution to understanding the events of the sinking of the Titanic". But more importantly, gives you an understanding of it's personal impact on the survivors. -- Added by Bernadette on 02/01/2013

Mr. Penumbra's 24-Hour Bookstore
Mr. Penumbra's 24-Hour Bookstore by Robin Sloan (Science Fiction, Fantasy, Science, Health)
A bit hard to get through, but interesting and current. "Harry Potter"ish. Some characters are a team of Google decoders. Makes you think about the question, what will books be in the future? PS-Check out the cover in the dark! -- Added by Bernadette on 01/10/2013
