Helpful Score: 2

A fairly interesting book about....reading books. The author has a lot of different approaches to discussing the subject (what you get from acknowledgements, ways of choosing your next book, the dangers of recommending a book to someone, etc) and ways of thinking about books that I enjoyed but I would have liked a little more depth in areas. Also, I hadn't heard of a lot of the books she read so I couldn't tell if we would be "compatible" in our book tastes. Would have been helpful to know. Also, some of the books she described that I would have liked to read, she "gave away" the endings which bothered me. Was a bit thought-provoking though, and I would love to see other authors/readers try this approach!!!
