The Library Book by Susan Orlean

4.0

---

4 stars. One of my favorite nonfiction reads I've had in some time. I learned so much and want to research so much more. Not just an arson mystery, but a love letter to libraries and books and the written word in general. I listened to the audiobook but had to check out the physical copy so that I could revisit passages I really enjoyed. Also I am temped to dress like Charles Lummis for my own library job.
