The Philosophy of Libraries

I've had Packing My Library on my To Read pile for a while, but the #NovellasInNovember reading challenge gave me the impetus to pick it up.

I loved #AlbertoManguel's perspective on libraries, literature and reading. I relished the way he allowed his thoughts to wander off on certain topics, and the way these apparently disparate digressions all threaded together into a coherent whole.
