Welcome to Litsy!

Sign above Michaux's Harlem bookstore: "Knowledge is power--you need it every hour. Read a book." Starting with 5 books in 1939, Lewis Michaux opened a business that went far beyond a bookstore. The "documentary" format of this novel created a quick pace. If you were the kid who could spent hours in a bookstore, you will enjoy this book.
(My first Litsy book review.)

Afternoon reading. Almost done with this quick read.
Favorite quote: "I like the smell of books."
My girls get this from me. Just the other week my 13 - year-old said, "Mommy, you have to smell this book...isn't it great?"
