I wanted to love it, because I do love libraries, but I struggled getting through this one... Even on audio.
There were some really interesting things in this book, and I feel like I learned a lot, but some of the timeline was confusing, especially since I wasn't seeing it visually.

It was interesting and I hope to get back to it someday, but it was a little slow and then I ran out of renewals at the library. oops.

This book was kind of like a library. A tremendous idea with a lot of history, names, dates, and places (perhaps too many...) sweeping across time and space. Thoroughly researched—who knew library records exist from many centuries ago—this book was an ode to books. Ended up skimming a fair amount towards the end, hoping for more recent history and perhaps more of a U.S. focus. Books are cool, though.
Maybe 2022 is the year I spring for a Kindle? Hey, libraries evolve.
