It s not that I don t like people, writes Maureen Corrigan in her introduction to "Leave Me Alone, I m Reading." It s just that there always comes a moment when I m in the company of others even my nearest and dearest when I d rather be reading a book. In this delightful memoir, Corrigan reveals which books and authors have shaped her own life 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, Corrigan s love for a good story shines."
