SPUDWORKS BOOK CLUB
09.30.2001The following are books that I have read. I am not including comic books – which some lesser book lists do – because I read far far too many to add to this and thus demean the importance of those novels and other printings of note that I have set aside the time to voraciously consume. spudWorks Book Club Members – and registered site visitors – will receive a 10% discount at the Astor Place Barnes & Noble book store in New York City. I do not buy books there, rather I prefer to shop at St. Mark’s Books two blocks deeper into my neighborhood, but the good people at B&N were excited to offer such a discount to the spudWorks readers.*

* The spudWorks – Barnes & Noble Reader Discount must be claimed in person at the Astor Place Location in New York City and is only valid between the hours of 10:30 AM and 10:45 AM on the second Wednesday of each month excepting June which is a stinker since that is my birthday but I suppose other people will buy me books for that month so it’s not all that bad.
