Did anyone else love Susan Orlean’s memoir “Joyride”? The title is so perfect for this book. I picked it up from the library and immediately threw aside the book I was reading. I loved “The Orchid Thief” when it came out and now I know why. She puts so much work into what she writes. Every word and sentence is carefully chosen with nothing essential left out and nothing unneeded left in. I wouldn’t have thought a memoir about writing could be this engrossing. #literature #books
