Noise free zone?

That's a laugh. This is on a sign in library but there are crowds with loud voices and hammering and drilling going on. Also crime tape, and plastic covering up the "new" book display. Put in some ear plugs but I find them of limited value.

Finished a book on my Nook - borrowed through the Overdrive system. Defending Jacob is by William Landay. There is a crime, which may or may not have been committed by the narator's teenage son. The father goes a bit overboard protecting and defending his son. Somewhat of a shocking ending. There is a trial and possibly a "murder gene".

Read another book by Adrana Trigiani, The Supreme Macaroni Company. It was a large type fiction borrowed from The Bridgeton Public Library. Wanted to get a feel for Tuscany, which figures not so prominently in this book. Valentine comes from a large Italian family and she is a shoemaker, with a business in Manhattan. She meets an older man from Tuscany and marries him when she is 39. Of course, her family is ecstatic. The book follows her business and romantic adventures.
