Oh happy day
Friday, March 23rd marked the unveiling of The New York Public Library's 51st annual publication of Books to Remember. It was a rare treat listening to seven of the Library's finest discussing the 25 books that they've discovered (after a year-long quest) to be the most compelling, thought-provoking and memorable of reads. The morning was a pure and absolute celebration of books, authors, reading and (I must add) librarianship. And I felt privileged to participate in the special occasion and honored to meet such extraordinarily talented writers as Rachel Sherman, Rich Cohen and Martha Collins.
