Reviews: Why We Read (2)
“Recommended”
(Paperback)
This collection of short essays is a paean to reading. I loved engaging with each author. It is a book to dip into and revisit. Loud and clear comes the message that print books trump those in other media many levels. A really good book to have.
“Underwhelming”
(Paperback)
It is very hard to rate this book..
Felt like it had no beginning and had no end, just the notes that were stuck in the middle... Some mini essays were interesting, some of them seemed repetitive...
Overall it lacked some kind of unity and structure. It felt like I got into someone's drawer and read random notes from there.
I had an answer for myself as to why I read before I read this collection of thoughts, but it was entertaining in a way when I would agree or disagree with the authors as I read through it..
