Hacker News Reader

Top right shelf contains "Jonathan Strange & Mr Norrell" (in black) and the Harry Potter series. Below that "The Rise of The Creative Class" (green). Middle left contains "America (The Book)" (red).

Fun exercise.

Third shelf, all the way to the right, "The More Than Complete Hitchhiker's Guide" -- which does not include Mostly Harmless, but IS leatherbound and DOES include slick gold-leafing.

The third shelf up on the right looks like SF paperbacks. I'm pretty sure that's Ender's game third from the right.

I can see a copy of The Daily Show book: America (The Book): A Citizen's Guide to Democracy Inaction

Same shelf Stephen King is Tom Clancy's "Executive Orders" (2nd from far left).
