The Library Book by Susan Orlean
4.0

Susan Orleans blends true crime, obscure history and personal experience expertly in The Library Book, a book that tells 150 years of history of Libraries in Los Angeles and around the world, and the mysterious story of the fire that nearly burned it all to the ground in the 80s. You may at first ask yourself why you're reading a book about this story, but you won't be able to put it down.
