Notes from a Public Typewriter by Michael Gustafson
non-fiction
I found this book surprisingly enjoyable and moving. A collection of musings on Literati Bookstore in Ann Arbor and the typewriters that have become a hallmark of the store, it was a relaxing way to end a few days.
It's a quick book that could probably be read in one sitting easily but I broke it up over a few evenings as a way to wind down before going to sleep and found it almost meditative. Reading the messages that individuals have left on the typewriter and vignettes about the store itself just put me in a very blissful place.
Some of the notes are powerful, some are silly, but all of them together form a wonderful collection. What a treat it must be for the folks at Literati to read these every day.
