There are quite a few Free Little Libraries in my area to which I donate most of my non-library books to, mostly sci-fi or lit fic.
I always check out what is on offer but a lot is very repetitive; the usual airport romance or crime novels (Danielle Steele, Elizabeth George, James Patterson), John Grisham or old cookbooks. Contemporary literature is probably what I encounter the least.
But every once in a while, I have come across a gem, including Catch 22, Arturo’s Island by Elsa Morante, An explanation of the birds by Antonio Lobo Antunes, and Visitation by Jenny Erpenbeck.
I am usually following my tbr list but like the surprise element of what you can find in a FLL and then squeeze that in.
What are the best books you have found at a FLL? Were they books you had planned to read all along or any that were never on your radar but you ended up liking?
