The Library Book
by Susan Orlean
I cried when this book wrapped up on my way to the grocery store today. I love it so much, I would've listened to another 10 discs.
Some of the other reviewers don't like that Orlean covers such varied topics relating to libraries, but that was my favorite part! I learned SO many things I didn't even know I wanted to know! I loved hearing about the history of libraries, the LA library, specifically, and it made me feel excited when she confirmed things that I'd learned before, like the fact that there are more libraries in the United States than McDonald's restaurants!
Listening to Susan Orlean read her own book was a real treat. She has a sweet, gentle voice that reminds me of women in my life who bring me comfort and confidence. I loved listening to her every single day, and would spend extra time in my car when I pulled into parking lots.
I would recommend this book to anyone who has ever felt at home in a library.
P.S. Does anyone know of any good podcasts about libraries?
