It’s not that I don’t like human beings, ” writes Maureen Corrigan in her introduction to Leave Me Alone, I’m Reading. “It’s just that there always comes a moment when I’m in the company of others—even my nearest and dearest—when I’d rather be reading a book.”
In this delightful memoirr, Corriggan reveals which books and authors have edited her own life—from old works of English literature to hard-boiled detective novels, and everything in between. And in her explorations of the heroes and heroines throughout literary history, Corrigan’s love for a good story shines. I like this book very much and would always wait for her new books.
