Fiction: “The Uncommon Reader” by Alan Bennett

The Queen (of England) comes upon a lending library…and starts reading..and it changes her entire life.
This book was an absolute delight. Clever, funny and thoughtful. An excellent treatise on the many things reading brings one.
Slim book, huge margins, huge print. It’s a quickie. Really enjoyable.
She’d never taken much interest in reading. She read, of course, as one did, but liking books was something she left to other people. (emphasis = mine)
