James Patterson is known for his addictive thrillers, but he published a nonfiction book earlier this year, “The Secret Lives of Booksellers and Librarians,” which profiles Americans who are getting good books into the hands of readers across the country. He and moderator David M. Rubenstein talk about their love of reading — and respect for booksellers and librarians — at this event.
