A book that’s really about a thief that steals books? (lemmy.dbzer0.com)

When I initially started to read “The Book Thief”, I went in blind thinking it was about someone that really was stealing books and kept them.

Then reading the book it was… a bit different. I loved the book, adore it. Liesel and her story will always be a part of me.

Though, I’m wondering if there’s actually a book about a book thief. Someone that steals the books, reads them. Adores them. Keeps them.

Any suggestions?

The Never-Ending Story, by Michael Ende. A YA book much better than Harry Potter. You want the hardcover edition, where part of the text is printed in red green. Flip through the pages to make sure. The MC only steals one book, but that sets the plot in motion.
