The Library Book by Susan Orlean
4.0

First of all, this book - the actual physical book- is beautiful. It bounces from the central story of the fire to chapters about the LA library system past and present and libraries in general. The book didn’t really flow for me. I ended up reading a chapter or two every now and then. It was like a book of short stories with an installment on the great fire mystery popping up every now and then. I enjoyed the book but wished it had been structured differently.
