10.5 - America's Most Popular
I read The Naked Sun, first published in 1956.

10.7 - Sugar Shack
I read The Caves of Steel, set in NY. Although the GR description suggests that the protagonist goes to the "Outer Worlds" to solve the crime, in fact the farthest that he goes from NYC is a brief trip to New Jersey (and I will make no comments about NJ being an outer world!)

10.8 - Join the Crowd
I read The Museum of Extraordinary Things. It was on the list of popular books among my friends on 3/21/14.

Delmy  (needfulreads) 20.5 - Bigger is Better - Mary Beth's task: Big Books are Best!
Let's make this task short and sweet, although the book you read may not be so. I've decided to combine the main element of a big book with a component of Monopoly. Big Books are over 500 pages and, at one point, Monopoly games included a $500 bill. So, for this task, please read one book of more than 500 pages.
