description: Thomas Friesen has three goals in life: get a job make friends and find a good book to curl up with. After landing a job at READ the newest hypermegabookstore he feels he may have accomplished all three. All is not peaceable within the stacks however as discontent steadily rises aimed squarely at talk show host Munroe Purvis whose wildly popular book club is progressively lowering the IQ of North America. But the bookworms have a planplots are being hatched and the destruction of Munroe is all but assured. As Thomas finds himself swept along in the malstrom of insanity he wonders if reading a book is all it's cracked up to be.
