A food store near me has a book shelf where anyone can leave books for others to freely take. I dropped a couple of books and picked up Sid Fleischman's Chancy and the Grand Rascal. It's a lighthearted kids' book, set in the post-civil war USA. It's not a long one, but I've enjoyed it so far. After this I'm probably reading a book written by the mom of someone I know about her parents and their lives during the Second World War. Should be interesting.
