PRODUCT DESCRIPTION

Leave Me Alone, I'm Reading: Finding And Losing Myself In Books

“It’s not that I don’t like people,” writes Maureen Corrigan in her introduction toLeave 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 memoir, Corrigan reveals which books and authors have shaped her own life—from classic 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.
