?This Book Is 119 Years Overdue: The wondrous database that reveals what Americans checked out of the library a century ago,? by John Plotz. What do the books we read say about us as individuals, and our place in society? ?What Middletown Read??a database that tracks the borrowing records of Muncie, Indiana?s public library between 1891 and 1902?tackles this question head-on. The database stratifies its residents? reading habits by age, gender, class, and more. John Plotz bridges past and present, drawing critical links between what we read and who we are.
