Just finished reading 'The Man Who Loved Books Too Much' by Allison Hoover Bartlett. So good. It's about a guy who steals valuable books, only to make excuses for himself to the extent of not feeling that he's guilty of any crimes. Even after serving prison time, he declares himself innocent. This is a true story (and one that's recent), and is full of rare book info. and story after story about book sellers/collectors. Interestingly enough, the writer of the book finds herself in the precarious position, while researching it, of having sometimes more inside information than the authorities. A great read for anyone who's a sucker for a good book, and obviously that would be me.
Made me wonder if I have a problem myself, especially considering I've read 3 books in the last week. Addictions. A funny thing. ;)
Btw, the other two I inhaled were 'Fresh Wind, Fresh Fire' by Jim Cymbala and 'Same Kind of Different as Me' by Ken Hall and Denver Moore. Gulp!
