Book Review of Tolstoy and the Purple Chair: My Year of Magical Reading

Tolstoy and the Purple Chair: My Year of Magical Reading
debbiemd avatar reviewed on


Memoir of author's year reading a book a day. I hadn't read many of the books she references but that was not an issue in reading this book as she doesn't discuss the books so much as her love of reading in general and the lessons learned from reading books, lessons that could be applied to life in general and which helped her move on from grief over her sister's death to cancer. Lots of stories of her family and her sister but all told in relation to books and reading.
