Dear Fahrenheit 451: Love and Heartbreak in the Stacks: A Librarian's Love Letters and Breakup Notes to the Books in Her Life by Annie Spence

5.0

An, engrossing love letter to libraries and books of all descriptions, an excellent source for recommendations on subjects you didn't even know you needed ("Books that Lead to More Books", "Good Books with Bad Covers", "Books about Librarians" etc.), and a just plain funny, relatable read, this book has anything and everything you could ask for. Read it to hear the author's thoughts on some of your own all time favorites, read it to find a new series, novel, or memoir to be obsessed with, or read it just to appreciate the wonders of the Public Library, whatever your motivations you need this book in your life. "Dear Fahrenheit 451" is insightful without being stuffy, humorous without being absurd, cathartic for librarians yet universal enough to speak to any reader who has ever lost themselves in an especially brilliant novel, story, or biography. Do yourself a favor, before your next visit to the library or trip to Barnes & Noble, peruse this brief love letter to literacy and I promise you'll have new titles to add to that ever expanding "to read" list, a renewed sense of joy in your reading, and a fresh appreciation for your local library.
