I’ve been a fan of the online comic strip Unshelved for a long time now. What better concept for a comic strip than a library full of quirky characters with a love of books? Somthing about it just speaks to me, and I can’t recommend it highly enough. It’s smart and full of literary references, yet there’s no shortage of sophomoric humor. A perfect combo, and the creators, Bill Barnes and Gene Ambaum, deliver punchlines consistantly day after day.

Imagine my surprise, then, when I recently made my routine visit to the site and discovered that their recent book club selection was none other than Sarah Neufeld’s Visibility! (Click here to read the strip!) What makes their book club feature really cool is that they only feature books they like! Just the fact that the book was selected makes it a favorable review. I’ve never been led astray by their recommendations, which in the past have included such cool books as Coraline by Neil Gaiman, Strangers in Paradise: High School by Terry Moore, and The Plain Janes by Cecil Castellucci and Jim Rugg. Check out their full list of recommendations.

So join me in extending my thanks to the creators of Unshelved for featuring Visibiity. Be sure to visit their site and read a few strips. (They recently launched a killer search engine for past strips.) If you like what you see, be sure to drop ‘em a line and let ‘em know. I’m sure they’d appreciate it.
