I agree. :)

Not only have they saved me a ton of money but they also allow me to read more widely then I would if I were paying for the book. If I am paying I would probably stick with authors and topics I know I would like.

Shades of Grey by Jasper Fforde (Audiobook read by John Lee)
3.5***
In a future world, society is ruled by a Colortocracy, with a social hierarchy based upon one’s limited color perception; in this world, you are what you can see. This novel is unlike anything I’ve read before and yet I recognize many elements. Fforde has written a book that combines science fiction, dystopia, romance, quest, coming-of-age, adventure and political espionage. He touches on themes of racism, friendship, slavery, euthanasia, loyalty, love, family and courage. I grew to love Eddie and Jane and was cheering for them right to the bitter end … and beyond.

Thanks, Book Concierge. I've added Shades of Grey to my TBR. I've been slowly working my way through his Thusday Next series and thoroughly enjoying them.
