Mr. Berger is a self-proclaimed book nerd. He forgoes human interaction in favor of books and, after coming into some money, quits his job so that he can try his hand as a writer. But his new life is not quite as it seems, and while he’s adjusting to his new home he watches a dark-haired woman with a red bag throw herself in front of a train. Sound familiar? It sounded familiar to Mr. Berger, too, so he sets off to investigate the woman and comes across the Caxton Private Lending Library and Depository, a place where literature and reality collide. An easy read, The Museum of Literary Souls by John Connolly is about the love readers have for their characters and how the power of one man can change literature forever. It’s sure to delight book lovers around the world.
