Mass Market Paperback Bingo #2: Pick a Book; I'll Read and Review It

I had a bit of an disaster today:  I got stuck in a thunderstorm, which resulted in my backpack, my notebooks, and my copy of Ink and Steel by Elizabeth Bear getting soaked through.  Since the Bear book is the one I'm supposed to be reading for MMPB Bingo, I've decided to temporarily jump ahead to the next shelf on the same bookcase (front row of books) so I can at least start reading something else while Ink and Steel dries out.

If you've not seen this before, here's how it works:
  1. You find a book in one of the images below that you'd like me to read (if you load the images on their own, they should be large enough to read everything without squinting).
  2. You leave a comment below telling me why you'd like me to read and review it.  There are no guidelines for this part.  You can say something silly.  You can be dead serious.  You can appeal to my corrupt side.  Doesn't matter.  I'll pick whichever comment sounds most appealing to me.
  3. I pick a winner, and then I read and review the book.
It's pretty straight forward, no?

So have at it.  Here are the images:

Mass Market Paperback Bingo: Pick a Book; I'll Read and Review It

The title says it all.  Since I have a really large collection of unread books, I figure I could have some fun by letting the public pick one from my shelves.  Below, you'll see two pictures from one shelf (front level; there is another level of books behind these).  You should be able to open the images to see the larger versions, which will make some of the titles and author names easier to read.
