Molly's got it going on!

This is the official New Yorkest book group title for this month.

And if you want to join us, please do.

Should be rad.

The new issue of Cometbus is out -- I just picked up a copy Saturday -- and it features a great piece entitled "A New York Used Book Report" that highlights some of the better bookstores in the five boroughs, including some I didn't know about in my neighborhood, Greenpoint. I snagged my copy at Somethin' Else in Park Slope, but I'm sure you can find it elsewhere in town... Kudos on another fine issue, Aaron!

I own a lot of books—my girlfriend would say too many—but I love them. I love having them around me, and I love the weight of their knowledge, history, and experience.

I particularly love—since I moved here—books about New York City. While you can use Vox to document any and every book you might own (those in print, mostly), I've chosen to—for the purposes of the New Yorkest—only record my New York-related texts.

Having just spent some time cleaning up my living room, I've updated my list of New York reads. You can see the more-complete list in my library. I'll continue to add to the list as I continue to tidy up my digs.

What are your favorite books about New York? Or, if you live elsewhere, about where you live?

This is quite a ways into the future, but the NYC Vintage Paperback and Collectible Book Expo comes to the midtown Holiday Inn (440 W. 57th St.) on Sunday, Oct. 1.
