I am currently reading My Reading Life, and also listening to the author narrate it, as well. I am moved beyond words at this beautiful and real ode to reading and literature, along with the details of some of the highs and lows that Pat Conroy experienced in his life. I have laughed out loud, shed tears, been brought back to my own childhood, and I am only two thirds of the way through the book. This is truly one that I don't want to end.
