Reading 4 Books about Books?

Okay this is weird. This month's book club book is  The Dictionary of Lost Words, by Pip Williams, which is a fascinating story about the words that didn't make the original Oxford English Dictionary and the (fictional) woman who eventually published an alternate dictionary. (Inspired partially by The Professor and the Madman, a true account of an unusual contributor to the original OED.)

But just before that, I finished The Book of Form and Emptiness, by Ruth Oseki, in which books and libraries figure prominently, and These Precious Days,  essays by Ann Patchett, in which books, writing and her bookstore figure prominently - plus I am reading The Sentence, by Louise Erdrich, in which books, and a haunted bookstore, figure prominently. 

I didn't plan it this way, but Books - Writing - Libraries - Bookstores - all are favorite passions of mine, so I am enjoying this serendipidous sequence of stories. I recommend all four books!
