Books I Recommend: Mr. Penumbra's 24-Hour Bookstore

I love this book as it's loaded with information that you wonder if what was written were either accurate or just a product of a curious mind. I also like how techie this book seems and I also like that it depicts how old souls cope with the advancement of today. And all that were just an icing to what it truly is about: friendship.


My favorite lines from the book...

 
I realized she's an android....smart and strong and organize and thoughtful.

We have the same hardware but not the same software.

Did you know that the concept of privacy is, like, totally recent? And so is the idea of romance, of course.

I did not know people your age still read books, I was under the impression they read everything on their mobile phones.

He has the strangest expression on his face-the emotive equivalent of 404 PAGE NOT FOUND.

The suburban mind cannot comprehend the emergent complexity of a New York sidewalk.

That's just a feeling not a fact.

I realize that the books I like the most are like open cities, with all sorts of ways to wander in.

Magic is not the only power in this world.

Money isn't like terra-cotta. We can make more of it if we try. We have to try.

Sometimes discipline is the truest form of kindness.

There is no immortality that is not built on friendship and work done with care.

All the secrets in the world worth knowing are hiding in plain sight.

It's not easy to imagine the year 3012 but that doesn't mean you shouldn't try.
