Literature Café | Book Lust

Authors Ragnar Helgi Ólafsson and Arndís Þórarinsdóttir chat about book lust—a passion for books. After the passing of his father, Ragnar faced the daunting challenge of weeding through his library, as described in his book My Father’s Library. In her most recent book Arndís explores the preservation of Möðruvallabók, the 14th century manuscript that includes a number of Iceland’s most important sagas. Together, Ragnar Helgi and Arndís consider: When is it okay to throw out a book and when does it become invaluable?
