Have you ever accidentally stumbled across your idea of heaven when reading a book? I kind of think I did when I found The Library of the Unwritten by A. J. Hackwith. It is the first book in the Hell’s Library series and boy was it a doozy. The book opens with Claire, the librarian…

This next book was interesting in many ways as it is a memoir but in the form of a few dozen, slightly disjointed, short stories. Out Of Africa was written by Isak Dinesen between 1914 and 1931 while the author ran a coffee plantation near Nairobi in Kenya. In it she describes her years there…
