For years I've been describing one of my favorite kind of books as listed above. Who knew that there was one word to say all that? Well, probably a lot of people. And, more importantly, librarians, who not only printed up a handy sign, but had a whole bunch of
buildungsromans set out for us to check out. Thanks librarians! And also thanks to the clerks who probably fetched all the books!
I love this!!!! Delightful!
