    Sobre este e-book

    A recessão econômica obriga Clay Jannon, um web-designer desempregado, a aceitar trabalho em uma livraria 24 horas. A livraria do Mr. Penumbra — um homenzinho estranho com cara de gnomo.
    Tão singular quanto seu proprietário é a livraria onde só um pequeno grupo de clientes aparece. E sempre que aparece é para se enfurnar, junto do proprietário, nos cantos mais obscuros da loja, e apreciar um misterioso conjunto de livros a que Clay Jannon foi proibido de ler.
    Mas Jannon é curioso…
    Michael Schaub, crítico de livros da NPR, disse antes do lançamento nos EUA que Mr. Penumbra seria uma das experiências de leitura mais divertidas que provavelmente teria no ano passado.
    Jonathan H. Liu, da GeekDad, disse: "Fantástico... Eu adorei mergulhar no mundo que Sloan criou, tanto a fantasia de alta tecnologia do Google como da sociedade analógica".
    O Jornalista Zeca Camargo recomendou a leitura em seu blog, confira o trecho: "Trata-se de uma aventura apaixonada sobre livros – sobre o passado e o futuro deles, ambos os tempos convivendo (não exatamente em harmonia) na livraria do senhor Penumbra. Os personagens que desfilam pela loja desafiam qualquer noção de realidade – e embora alguns trechos tenham toques de ficção científica, há um delicioso balanço entre a fantasia e o nosso cotidiano tão informatizado. Recomendo-o".

It glows in the dark! I had high hopes for this one, but it was kind of a letdown. It has all the right ingredients for a great story, but I found the writing to be sub par, and the characters weren't engaging me.

      I listened to the audiobook, read by Ari Fliakos, who did the most wonderful audio recording I've ever heard. I don't usually pick audiobooks based on who's reading them, but now I will be on the look out for Ari Fliakos' readings.As for the book itself, I was completely engrossed at first. And then less so. It was all good, but not as good as the set up led me to expect.
    • 4/5
      Lots of fun. Lots of inside humor although it kinda betrays its origins as a freebee Internet e-book giveaway. Good on Google and cults and other West Coast silliness. Not quite the sum of its parts, but an amusing enough distraction.
    • 5/5
      This was just lovely! I loved the characters, the pacing of the story. I was tempted to race through it, but I didn't feel like I HAD to just to get to the end. I loved the mystery of the whole story; it was intriguing and kept me interested without being overdone. I enjoyed going on the adventure with Clay. It was fun meeting his new friends and allies and seeing him rely on allies from his past (and present).I was a bit disappointed in Kate and how quickly she changed once she got what she wanted. And I hated how cold and sort of rigid--or disbelieving she was once the truth of the puzzle was revealed, even though it was right there in black in white for all to see. And it was almost as if she was jealous that Clay figured it out without her technology--without her! I was hurt on Clay's behalf by her treatment of him.But what I loved most was Clay's loyalty to Penumbra and solving the puzzle. And that after all the help, the technology and gadgets, he was able to solve it without his huge group of helpers, all on his own and very simply.I've seen where some people were upset with the ending, or the revelation of the mystery was underwhelming. I thought the simplicity of it all was what made it so perfect, so wonderful. After all that work, reading, scheming, programming, computing, etc., the answer was simple and immortality was achieved in a way.

      “Tell me,” Penumbra said, “about a book you love.”

      The answer unemployed marketer Clay Jannon gives to this simple question starts a journey of discovery, mystery, and adventure that leads from a dusty, unremarkable San Francisco bookstore to the whitewashed walls of Google to a hidden library beneath New York City.

      Clay is at first amused, then intrigued by the strict instructions given him by bookstore owner Mr. Penumbra, paramount of which is do not read any of the books located in the soaring stacks of the store. His curiosity piqued by the odd customers who show up at all hours of the night looking for a new book, and, compounded by the boredom of working the night shift in a 24-hour bookstore, Clay eventually turns to his computer to pass the time. His first inelegant attempt at charting the use of the books turns into an algorithm that predicts use, ultimately helping him solve a part of a larger mystery hidden in the encoded books.

      Throw in a romantic love interest in the form of a spunky, eccentric girl genius who works for Google, concern for the suddenly missing Mr. Penumbra, and a wealthy, eccentric best friend, and Clay finds himself winging his way to NYC, where he traces Penumbra to an underground library full of readers devoted to cracking a code devised by a 15th century printer, believed by the First Reader and his followers to be “the key to everything.” What Clay and his friends discover, however, is not immortality, but something much more precious.

      On the surface, this is a typical adventure story – the unlikely hero, the smart-than-everyone quirky girl, the eccentric best friend, the quest for knowledge. Underneath, however, there is so much more. In one regard, this is a cautionary tale addressing the current rush to “googlize” everything. What will happen to the way we gather and retain knowledge when everything is in Google? Will we forget how to think in favor of being told?

      And on an even deeper level, why do we read? Does the very act of reading set us each on a personal journey? Is our reading connected to something bigger? The First Reader tells his followers: “It is the text that matters, brothers and sisters. Remember this. Everything we need is already here in the text. As long as we have that, and as long as we have our minds, we don’t need anything else.”

      An interesting perspective in the print vs. digital debate of 2013. Does the container matter as long as we have the text? Can we separate the physical act of holding a book from the act of reading the text? Do we read print and digital text differently? There is some emerging research that suggests physiological differences in how we retain information read in digital format versus traditional print. How will those differences affect the way we learn and the way we record information?

      Mr. Penumbra’s 24-Hour Bookstore is, in itself, perhaps an allegory for the shift in how we obtain text. The internet has become our 24-hour bookstore; is there still a place for physical repositories of text?

      This is a multi-layered book that begs to be re-read, and I expect that I will find even more to think about the second time through. It’s been awhile since I’ve read a book that resonated quite like this one, and I will be thinking about it for a long time.

      “All the secrets in the world worth knowing are hiding in plain sight.” (Pos. 3901)

      Content:
      Clay Jannon, web-designer in San Francisco has lost his job and he finds a new one, working at Mr. Penumbra's 24-Hour Bookstore, but only the night shifts from 10 to 6. The shop looks quite small and offers a wide range of SF books, but deep in the background are huge shelves with very old, strange looking books. Clay notes that most clients do not buy books, but borrow one of these special books, bring it back and borrow another one. Therefore, this must be more than a normal bookstore. Together with his friends Mat and Neel, he begins with researches to reveal the story behind the bookshop that seems to be more a library, and its customers. However, not everybody likes these investigations and the organization in the background is powerful and dangerous.

      Theme and genre:
      This novel is not only about books and bookstores, but also about important knowledge and mysteries, hidden in books. IT market players like Google, the people and researches behind is also a topic.

      Characters:
      Clay Jannon is more than a book-nerd and he definitely changes, his self-confidence growing with the dangers. He and his friends are witty, likeable specialists.

      Plot and writing:
      The novel is written in the first-person point of view, told by Clay Jannon. The language is enjoyable and humorous. The story is interesting and thrilling and there is some magic and mystery woven into the plot. This together makes the book a real page-turner.
      The author has also written a short prequel pf 112 pages about how Mr. Penumbra came to the bookstore: “Ajax Penumbra: 1969”, Kindle Edition, which I have read first.

      Conclusion:
      A gripping story for booklovers, with mysteries and exciting turns and likeable protagonists. Perfect for a weekend lost in a book.

      The mystery in the giant shelves.
    • 2/5
      It is not at all what I expected. I didn't enjoy it, but I couldn't put it down. Something about it grabbed ahold of me and I HAD to know the solution to the puzzle. I can't recommend it, but I don't want to give it a terrible rating, either.
    • 3/5
      This book had the potential to be really good, but I think some areas were hit-and-miss with me. I can see how this type of book would appeal to those who are computer-savvy. It gets technical at times.

      What I didn't like:
      1) There are two run-on sentences on page 81 of this book. It drives me bonkers. I can't decide if it's deliberately supposed to be that way because Clay Jannon is talking fast due to his sudden surge of anxiety or if the editing crew just skipped both sentences. No matter the reason, it bugs me!
      2) All the talk about "boob physics" and "anatomix" on page 118 was a little off-putting.
      3) There were times in the book I felt like the writer was "off" because I was losing interest. I wanted to be glued, and I just didn't have the stick-to-it feeling.

      What I did like:
      1) It's about books! And bookstores!
      2) Who doesn't love a good mystery? So trying to decode or unlock secrets usually makes a good book.

      Would I want to continue the series? No. I don't think I will. I'm glad that I borrowed the book from the library. I can at least make a note to myself to avoid this series.
    • 4/5
      This book pushes all my buttons in all the right ways. A book about a secret society of readers, who read a sequence of obscure texts in order to solve a mystery. Much of the action takes place in a book store, which is great.

      Clay Jannon is an unemployed 20-something living in San Francisco. One day he spots a help wanted sign in the window of a book store, and walks in. He is hired to work the graveyard shift at the 24-hour book store. Clay soon learns that this is not an ordinary book store. They hardly sell any books, and most of the customers come in to "borrow" the extremely old books that line the shelves. Clay becomes curious and with the help of some friends, begins to investigate what is actually going on at the store.

      For the purpose of this story, the author has created an imaginary trilogy called The Dragon-Song Chronicles. This series is a tale of an epic quest, and holds a lot of importance in the book. In his search for answers, Clay Jannon must go on his own epic quest, in some ways paralleling the action in The Dragon-Song Chronicles.

      This novel is a book lovers dream. If you love books, bookstores or libraries, you should really enjoy this one. At times, it feels like Clay's success in his endeavors comes a little too easy. But I like the way current technology, like the internet, is utilized to solve the ancient mystery of the books. After a slower beginning, to set up all the characters, the book begins to move at a steady pace and is very entertaining. I give this book 4 out of 5 stars.
    • 5/5
      A great story and a wonderful audiobook.
    • 4/5
      I really enjoyed this book. I listened to the audiobook borrowed from Overdrive on a long trip a couple weeks ago and it kept me entranced for six hours straight. Not what I was expecting but still excellently done. I enjoyed the mystery feel combined with the general bookish love. Great read.
    • 5/5
      I love books with San Francisco settings and books with books in books so I was enthusiastic about reading this book.four and a half starsI rounded up mostly because of the perfect last line, that I can’t even quote without ruining the reading experience for future readers. The half star docked was because though I tried I did not enjoy the fantasy book excerpts within the book.Overall this book was so much fun. Pure pleasure! It’s very amusing and is heartwarming too. It was like a From the Mixed-Up Files of Mrs. Basil E. Frankweiler for grown-ups, but more about books than about art, so even better from my perspective. San Francisco and bookstore culture was done well; it felt familiar, even with a bookstore so wacky. I thoroughly enjoyed the characters, their relationships, the bookstore, the mystery, the quest, the adventure, the fact that I got San Francisco and New York City in one book, and I appreciated the resolutions, all of them. It took me a while to identify with the twenty something tech industry characters but as more people were added into the mix, and I got to know everyone better, I loved them.I never expected much from the mystery and I’m relieved and grateful it turned out as it did. Actually I thought it was something other than it was. BIG SPOILER: books and other writings vs. friendship. Both/either were 100% fine with me. Perhaps it’s only a four star book and I almost gave it that, but for me it was the exact right book at the exact right time. It was close enough to perfect. I loved it. So four and a half stars rounded up to five.
    • 4/5
      This book is strange, at least, it seems strange to me. I read it right to the very end although there were moments when I wondered why I was doing so. I suspect that for a certain group of readers this is a wonderful book - but I am not one of them! To give a brief outline of the story: Set in San Fransisco in the recent past, a young man gets a job as the night clerk at a 24hour bookshop. The shop has few current books for sale; customers are rare, and those that come seem to be returning books and borrowing others. It is all a bit weird, as is the boss of the shop Mr Penumbra. The young man - our hero - tries to find out what is the raison d'etra of the shop. This leads him on a challenging journey through the internet, and also through many ancient books. There in lies the tale.As I am of a generation for whom computer gaming is a closed book, and additionally 'Dungeons & Dragons', and quest games leave me cold. Also, I am not a fan of fantasy writing in general. So I am not best placed to critique the book. Every reader will have to judge for themself.
    • 3/5
      A very light, fun book. An enjoyable read, but not really much to it.
    • 1/5
      I flicked through some of the reviews before starting out on this book and was pretty optimistic. This lasted for about 25% of the book but was gradually replaced by irritation. Why do so many readers like it so much?
      It has little literary merit. It is simply an entertainment where the plot ultimately falls flat on its face. The set up is good and makes you want to read on, and lots of the ideas are relatively clever and fun; but it does not deliver.
      If it had been longer, I might well have taken the never previously made decision to stop reading a book.
      I am very glad I got this very cheap so I don't feel I have wasted too much money when I certainly feel I have wasted time, albeit not too much of it.
    • 5/5
      An epic tale of mystery, technology, secret societies, musty bookstores, Google, and pretty much everything else I love. Fun, funny, inspired and well worth your time.
    • 4/5
      Mr. Penumbra’s 24 Hour Bookstore by Robin Sloan is a tongue in cheek ode to musty bookstores filled to the brim with paper books versus today's modern digitization. Clay is a young man who loves his technology but takes a job as a night clerk in a strange bookstore when the internet implodes and he loses his high-tech job. Where he was previously creating web pages and writing slogans on Twitter, he now spends his nights surrounded by rare encrypted books that seem to appeal to a secret club of strange customers who check these books in and out like a library.This book is very much a satire, but written with a warmth and regard for both the old and the new. There are many references to “The Lord of the Rings”, called in this book “The Dragon Song Chronicles” a book trilogy that deeply influenced Clay as a young boy. Eventually Clay, his techie friends and a female programmer set out to unravel the bookstore mystery and find themselves pitted against the Fellowship of the Unbroken Spine.Although I was not totally spellbound by this book, perhaps finding it a little too clever, I nevertheless enjoyed the read and it brought some familiar thoughts to my bookish emotions such as the feel of crisp pages and the smell of paper books, the immediate sense of gratification when downloading a book and the slight feeling of guilt one feels when clicking onto Amazon. Mr. Penumbra’s 24 Hour Bookstore describes the culture clash between the paper and ink world and the new internet version of reading and it’s obvious the author loves both these elements.
    • 4/5
      Synopsis: As an economic effect of the recession, Clay Jannon, previously working in the corporate headquarters of NewBagel, finds himself unemployed and hunting for work when he stumbles upon a job opportunity in a 24 hour bookstore. The bookstore is run by Mr. Penumbra, who Clay rarely sees as the store essentially runs on a pass-the-baton system where Clay hands over to Mr. Penumbra who hands over to Oliver, and then. There is one section of the bookstore that Clay soon starts to notice a strange trend of people borrow books from - the 'Waybacklist'. We quickly learn that the bookstore is part of a secret society and a puzzle remains within, of which these people are trying to decode. My Opinion: Robin Sloan has a very natural writing style making it easy for readers to become part of the story. I became absorbed, and curious, trying to decode the puzzle myself. Towards the end there was a slight anti-climax which made it a little bit confusing. Maybe a second reading might clarify some of the more confusing aspects.
    • 5/5
      As with almost all the best things in life, it is right there, hidden in plain sight.
    • 5/5
      With its title, readers anticipate a lively tale about many, many books. Books do form the focus, yet it is more the story of computer expertise and, oddly, GOOGLE. Interwoven are lovely scenes of the art of a miniaturist.Told in first person real life, we follow the increasingly complex adventures of newly hired bookstore clerk, Clay Jannon, as he navigates a lot of strangeness. The book overflows with memorable quotes, beginning with "What do you seek...."Romance is not keenly developed, notably from Kat's perspective.

      A book about a mysterious bookshop - in this century? Is there anything new to tell about those? Turns out: yes and no.
      It's a neat idea to combine (computer) science with a love of (physical) books. Sadly, it turns into Dan Brown for the middle part. And oh, the science! I cringed when the world's most powerful computers were set to work on the big problem, and the captain of the affair shouted for more power, and the engineer said he couldna take her any fasterr...
      That's what it felt like to me. Seriously, *some* minimal research into ocr and cryptography and how algorithms work would have been appreciated.
      Still, it's a book a mysterious bookshop, and I like those.
    • 4/5
      A very slow start is the only thing that detracts from this one. So slow, in fact, that the first 10% of the book took me longer to get through than the remaining 90%, and not just because I kept setting the book down out of boredom. But I'm glad that I stuck with it because once the table was set and the cast of supporting characters had all been introduced and the real mystery began to get moving, this thing became a very fun ride. The characters--both the artsy geeks and the techie geeks--were all thoroughly likable and bright in various ways and ambitious and all sorts of other positive adjectives. So you basically have a bunch of likable geeks around books and an indie bookstore. And a mystery going back centuries. Involving more books and book lovers. In short, catnip for someone like me. And fans of closure will be quite pleased with the way that pretty much every major character was addressed in the epilogue. Had the author gotten this thing up to speed faster, it could have easily been a 5-star for me. As it is, four will have to do. But let's call it a very solid four.

      Marvelous book that'll appeal to modern day readers and bibliophiles, contrasting the modern urge to go digital in all things and why that may or may not be a misstep.

      Don't want to spoil anything about this really good and fast read...except not to read it when you're already exhausted as it'll keep you awake for over 100 pages even when you really need the sleep more.

      As a younger reader, certain books instilled a sense of wonder and a little awe. As an adult, some books still are able to create that sense of wonder. This is one of them. It is a love story about books, friendship, ingenuity and preserving the handcrafting of physical things. It's fantastic.

      I enjoyed this quick read, especially the back and forth between the old (book in their traditional form) and newer technologies. The characters were fun and relatable, but the theme of an underlying code behind the books left me confused.

      This was a lot of fun with good memories of old equipment and methods. I loved the Google world and the customers. It was great to tour San Francisco and New York, and nice to think there are likely a lot of talented, imaginative people out in the world doing fascinating stuff.

      A delight. A love letter to books in all their forms, no hatred for ereaders, computers, technology. A story is a story in any form, friendship is immortal, secrets are in plain sight. Lovely.
