The SCROOMtimes Reading List

These are books that we here at the times have either read and enjoyed or think look pretty good. Buy them through Amazon.com by clicking on the cover or the title. Every time you buy a book we make a little coin, so feel free to buy three even four hundred copies of each. Do that and Skippy might not insult your intelligence so much (but he probably will).
