Seriously? Three of my favorite interests in one book! Gregory Benford’s Shadows of Eternity involves a SETI librarian–on the moon–deciphering and interpreting alien messages; need I go on? Check out our other interesting selections to occupy your time over spring break. Titles range from fiction, historical fiction, mystery, suspense, non-fiction, to current affairs, social issues, and politics.

Our collection is on the first floor of Mullen Library in the Reference Reading Room.
