The Faculty Have Chosen

Perhaps you fancy yourself something of a book connoisseur (you're reading a library blog after all) but I assure you, you've got nothing under your belt literary-wise holding a candle to the NSA faculty. We hounded them through jungles, over mountains, and across oceans until we caught them and, like extracting a wish from a faerie, got from them book recommendations for you.
