There are a lot more, but these are the ones the top my list of favourites and my TBR! I’m always looking for more though, so if you know of any great books about readers, share in the comments!

I love this list. I second “The Book Thief”'s inclusion and also add “Shadow of the Wind.”
I liked this post so much it made my own TTT: http://shainareads.blogspot.com/2015/03/top-ten-tuesday-top-ten-posts-for.html#comments
I love a good meta list! I can't believe I haven't read anything, but it looks like I need to fix that quick.
Oh my…”Leave Me Alone, I'm Reading”…with a title like that, you know I'll have to pick it up sooner or later 😛
I'm listening to “Matilda” on audio right now, narrated by Kate Winslet, and it is perfection. I've read it countless times, and it's absolutely one of my all time favorites of life. AJ Fikry will be coming up soon in the roster for me, as my IRL book club pick! I really wanted to do this weeks TTT but didn't have enough time to pull together a thoughtful list! I LOVE yours, and one I would add is “Mr Penumbra's 24 Hour Bookstore” – kind of a weird book, but I really enjoyed the audiobook version 🙂
Ah, Matilda is a great story for us bookworms! 🙂 I love reading about readers! Great choices, My TTT
I'd include The Book Thief in this category, and it is one of my all-time faves.
