I'd Rather Be Reading
The Delights and Dilemmas of the Reading Life
Ratings55
Average rating3.9
This collection of essays delights with every passing page. It is a memoir of the author's reading life as well as guidelines for others to follow in their own reading lives. I loved the chapters on bookshelves and acknowledgments, to name but two of many. I have been tracking my reading for a number of years but am inspired by the last chapter to keep a more detailed reading journal to help me remember, to benefit my future self to paraphrase the author.
Highly recommended if you love books and reading them.
