Darien Library

  1. Erin Shea, the head of adult programming at the Darien Library, recently finished reading “Gone Girl” and said it was “a thrilling summer read for both men and women.”

    “You’ll end up finishing this 400-page book in three days because the twists and turns are so delightfully demented,” she said.

    Shea also recommends “Wild” by Cheryl Strayed. “It’s a great summer read about hiking, relationships, family, mourning and ultimately figuring things out.”

    This weeks Featured Audio Sample is Gone Girl by Gillian Flynn. 

    Some marriages are perfect. Some are safe. And some are a complete disaster.

    What happens when you have a slightly evasive, deceitful husband harboring deep resentments and a beautiful, high maintenance wife who’s standards are too high for anyone to meet and who’s secrets are even more alarming?

    Pure Magic, depending on who you are siding with that is.

    I’m currently reading this and it’s that wonderful mix of “I want to stay home and read this all day” and “I don’t want to read this for a while because I want it to last forever.”

  3. I have some very exciting plans this weekend! (And if you look closely, you can spot my zebra print dress.)
