A Look Inside Marilyn Monroe's Personal Library

Posted at 7:19PM Tuesday 12 Mar 2013

The image Monroe projected in her private life hardly squared with the "dumb blonde" character that made her famous. Over at LibraryThing, you can sort through 262 books in Monroe's collection, which included no shortage of great literary works – everything from Invisible Man by Ralph Ellison, to Ulysses by James Joyce, to Crime And Punishment by Fyodor Dostoevsky and The Plays Of Anton Chekhov.
