The Library Book
by Susan Orlean
I wasn't sure what to expect when I opened this book of non-fiction. I was almost immediately enchanted. I don't know if it is because of my lifelong love of libraries... of places that books and information are kept and freely offered, or because of my love of history... or my interest in mysteries.. or just the parts of this book that are about the shifting timeline of memory and reality and wanting to be remembered and the strategy of achieving that goal... Anyhow, I copied a bunch of quotes in my journal and loved this read for her tremendous research as well as her empathy and compassion. Later, I attended a lecture by the author about this volume and this experience has led me to wish to read some of her more contemporary magazine articles in The New Yorker Magazine.
I say "chef's kiss" on this book Susan: You knocked it out of the park; and I am very sorry about losing your Mom-- I know how that feels and it sucks.
