I just finished reading Susan Orlean’s book The Library Book” and totally loved it; as well as this essay. I want to read more of her stuff because she takes a subject (libraries, books, orchids) and weaves a story that is compelling and filled with facts! Thank you Bill for posting this

I'm halfway through The Library Book and also really loving it. If Readup fails, I might want to be a librarian.
When's the next Book Club? I want to write an essay and someone's gotta read it. (I miss everyone!)
I'll be in Lawrence soon(ish). :)

Loved this. Written in 1995 by Susan Orlean.
