I got an email newsletter the other day

Wowbrary is the cute, cute name of a syndicated library newsletter—I suppose you can get it too if you like.

This most recent book list includes the interesting juxtaposition:

$2.00 a day : living on almost nothing in America

and

Busy: How to Thrive in a World of Too Much 

Take your pick.

[And special to our Midwest and Elsewhere Bureau: Avenue of Spies: A True Story of Terror, Espionage, and One American Family's Heroic Resistance in Nazi-Occupied Paris.]
