Some of my favorite parts of the book were all of the literary references ranging from the classics to contemporary novels. Some are included to move the story along, others are included strictly for the enjoyment of the audience – sort of like all those cameos in Muppet movies (For example, a bookstore owner is overheard telling a customer, “No, Jonathan *Tropper*. Trust me, he’s a lot more fun than Jonathan Franzen.)
Claire also reminisces about dressing up as The Book Lady as a little girl, filling her rolling suitcase with books and walking around the house trying to sell books to her family members. It brought back memories of my own, when as a child I organized all the books on our shelves and created my own version of the Dewey Decimal system. My siblings weren’t allowed to take a book from the shelf without first “checking it out” with me!
