2021 November PAcking My Library - Manguel

Due to everybody, well a lot of us, going on holiday, there will not be a meeting to discuss this book this month. Hopefully we will have a Christmas meeting  in December. 

My thoughts. I am not getting on with it very well. I realize that it is supposed to be in praise of libraries, but I have already decided that it is not a book that I would keep in my library. At the moment I am reading one section every evening. I don't think it would be possible to read it in a large session. You need to absorb what he has said in each section. I doesn't strike me as a book that is written with a purpose, just putting down his ideas and thoughts as he packs up his library and home.

 Well, I have not received any comments about either of these books, so there is nothing to write here.
