A review by jazhandz
The Library Book by Susan Orlean

emotional reflective medium-paced

4.25

I tend to find most narrative nonfiction dry, but this was intensely readable. The passion was vivid, clear, and lovely to read throughout the book.

Content Warnings

Graphic: Fire/Fire injury

Moderate: Sexism

Minor: Homophobia, Racism, and Classism

To elaborate on classism: I found the way the writer describes homeless library patrons to be intensely uncomfortable to read, and it came up repeatedly.
