What I'm reading right now is Found: The Best Lost, Tossed, and Forgotten Items from Around the World.

Cambpell's Overnight is good, not great, though it seems dead-on in its portrayal of a how a chain store operates--the general goodwill of its employees, the exhaustion, the dread of having someone mess up your section. It is actually sort of similar to Nickel and Dimed: On (Not) Getting By in America, even if the latter does not have eerie creatures rising from an ever-present fog and burying you in mud.

Most irritating is Overnight's paperback cover: whoever designed it does not know the difference between a bookstore or a library.
