Looking for a new book to read?

Have you recovered from all the reading you did during the spring semester? Ready to pick up a new book to read for fun, but don't have a particular book in mind? Check out recommendmeabook.com.

Recommendmeabook takes the old adage that 'you shouldn't judge a book by its cover' seriously. Each time you visit the site, you will be presented with the first page or two of a book. If you like what you read, you can click a button to reveal the title and author. If you're not interested, click 'next book' to keep searching for the perfect summer read.

Want to know if Lehman Library has a particular book? Search the Ship discovery service or library catalog for the title. Even though it's summer break, you can still borrow books from the library!

Still not convinced? I gave it a whirl. When I opened recommendmeabook I read the first couple pages of Stephen King's On Writing: A Memoir of the Craft. I've always been a big fan of King's horror novels. Looks like this is an autobiography he wrote in 2000. It could be neat to get a glimpse into his life and writing philosophy. I checked our Ship discovery service to see if we have On Writing, and just my luck - we do! Guess I know what I'll be reading next.
