Read + Roam is all about the harmony of prose and place.

Ever notice that literature takes on some added intensity, some additional meaning, when you’re reading in the location about which the book was written? Reading Julia Child’s My Life in France at a café in Paris, devouring Zadie Smith’s On Beauty in a Cambridge bookstore, or poring over Michael Chabon’s Telegraph Avenue in Oakland? Suddenly, you’re more connected with the place, more immersed in the story, and, somehow, more alive. It’s an awesome feeling.

That feeling is what Read + Roam is all about.

Read and roam with me to discover not only what I'm reading but also the bookstores, libraries, and cities where I'm spending time.
