Mrs Louise Isabel Elm: Librarian at Nora’s childhood school and in the Midnight LibraryĪsh: lives in Nora’s neighborhood and finds Nora’s dead cat in her root life Nora Seed: protagonist who commits suicide and tries out different possible lives There is much more online to delve into on how human brains work, why we create stories, how we make choices, innumerable topics the delve into how our brains function. Learn the science of stage fright and how to overcome it in this animated short. The American Society for Suicide Prevention and the National Institute of Health have resources if you or someone you know if facing depression or contemplating suicide. It’s a good resource to find out more about some of the philosophers that Nora refers to as she tries out different lives. The Internet Encyclopedia of Philosophy shares peer-reviewed information that is understandable to a lay person. I recommend reading the book before the guide. Note that this guide, like all of the guides, may contain spoilers. While I read this book in the winter, I can imagine reading it and contemplating life in a summer setting such as sitting atop a mountain peak with a backpacking partner or relaxing by river with a buddy or staring into a campfire with a good friend. This quick-to-read novel gives you a chance to philosophize about your life, the path not taken and the meaning of life. While the outcome is predictable, the forays into philosophy are relatable and offer good jumping off points whether to general philosophical ideas or to personal introspection. The dialogue flows naturally and the characters come to life. The Midnight Library was my introduction to Matt Haig and I thoroughly enjoy his writing.
