Advance praise for Leave Me Alone, I'm Reading "It's always fascinating to read someone on how her life has been changed by reading, especially one of America's most perceptive book critics. You find yourself comparing your reactions to hers and learning about books you want to read. But this reflective and entertaining memoir is about more than just books. It's about being a daughter and an adoptive mother, a student and a teacher, a feminist and a skeptical Catholicabout being Maureen Corrigan.Learning about Maureen's life made me think about how my own life was shaped by books." Terry Gross, host ofNPR's Fresh Air "If you wonder about the secret life of bookworms, this is the book that will open up the rich rewards of going around with your nose stuck in a book. Corrigan's narrative is delightful, absorbing, and engaging, with surprising leaps between the books she reads and the story of her own life." Bobbie Ann Mason, author ofAn Atomic Romance " 'Leave me alone, I'm reading' is precisely what you will be insisting when you have Maureen Corrigan's splendid memoir in your hands. What a great piece of work! The author not only writes about books in her customary incisive and beguiling manner, but also shows how books can change someone's life. Whether your taste runs to Pride and Prejudice or The Maltese Falcon, you will love Leave Me Alone, I'm Reading. It's the book for people who love books." Susan Isaacs, author ofAny Place I Hang My Hat "From the first page of the introduction to Leave Me Alone, I'm Reading, I knew I was in the hands of another book luster. I valued her insights into contemporary and classical literature and the connections she made to her own life, but I especially loved her enthusiasm for books and the act of reading."
