How What We Read In Private Connects Us

While searching for some works to include in my final literature project, an anthology of contemporary writing that exemplifies the connection of a collective memory in environments outside of our norm, I came across a literary journal dedicated to travel writing: The Literary Bohemian.

While browsing through the archives of the journal, I came across a piece about a woman who rents a stranger's house and finds herself connected to him, based solely on his private library. Beautifully sentimental, I think all lovers of books would agree that we find companions based on what we enjoy reading and learning about.
