Stranger than Fiction The wonderfully odd side of books and art.  A rave for readers: A Tokyo club held a "book rave", where guests lay on rugs reading books and listening to ambient music. That's my kind of night out! A century in a scrapbook: A rare 15th-century Latin grammar page linked to Gutenberg’s associates spent more than 100 years tucked away in a Connecticut college scrapbook before librarians identified it.

So now your library card might come with an adventure. Read the story. | A rave for readers: A Tokyo club held a "book rave", where guests lay on rugs reading books and listening to ambient music.
