I've read Charlotte's Web and most of Romeo and Juliet (don't tell my English Teachers... I gave up on almost every book I was supposed to read in that subject)
I don't know "Invisible Man" though. Does anyone know what that one is about (aside from the obvious)?

The Kansas library parking garage is a really interesting idea! I found the list of all the books chosen:

Community bookshelf

An interesting assortment!

Very cool buildings - some of them are "not far" so I might take the family for a tirp one of these days.

Here is a picture of my beloved wife and myself in front of the Luxor in Las Vegas from our trip:

The blog is "Viva Las Vegas "

And an interesting building sculpture from Tel Aviv, Israel:

From our blog "Bella's first professional modeling gig"
