The Library Book by Susan Orlean
3.0

While there were some interesting tidbits on library history, I felt this was a bit disjointed and read like a textbook I would have been assigned in library school. The fire garnered very little of the book. I can see where it might be interesting if you don’t already work in libraries, but even aside from the fact that I wasn’t learning much new information, I felt this could have been structured differently. Note that I’m in the minority so you may love this book even though I found it tedious at times.
