Maureen Corrigan
â€œItâ€™s not that I donâ€™t like people,â€ writes Maureen Corrigan in her introduction to ,Leave Me Alone, Iâ€™m Reading,. â€œItâ€™s just that there always comes a moment when Iâ€™m in the company of othersâ€”even my nearest and dearestâ€”when Iâ€™d rather be reading a book.â€ In this delightful memoir, Corrigan reveals which books and authors have shaped her own lifeâ€”from classic works of English literature to hard-boiled detective novels, and everything in between. And in her explorations of the heroes and heroines throughout literary history, Corriganâ€™s love for a good story shines.
