The Librarian

My favorite librarian recommended a fiction find this week called "The Librian". She said, somewhat jokingly, that it made her begin to wonder about some of the conspiracy theories out there. She also noted that it was touted as "Liberal Escapism". OK, now I had to read it.

The story is essentially a fictional, behind-the-scenes recreation of a Gore/Bush election, though the Gore character is a female character. Of course, it also plays on terrorism, the use of fear and the media, etc. It is less than a year old, so if you watch the Daily Show at all, you've probably had some exposure to all of the viewpoints.

The characters were a little shallow, some of them almost caricatures, but overall it was an enjoyable book.
