When British author Linda Grant claims to have murdered her library she is not kidding, much. Grant sees her collection of books as old friends and as a reflection of herself. Any avid reader and book collector can understand the difficulty of her decision to cull much of her cherished, though often neglected, library before moving to a smaller flat. And although she is no Luddite and appreciates the convenience and storage capacity of her Kindle, she misses her old friends and the past represented by them. I Murdered My Library is highly recommended for any bibliophile.
