A lovely book about Ann Hood's relationship with books. I flew through this book in one day. Hood highlights books that shaped her and her character. It is a very good read! So glad I came across it.

One of my favorite quotes:

“Even now I like to sometimes indulge in the guilty pleasure of reading a book that literary snobs would never consider reading. And I enjoy them, those paperbacks I don't mind leaving behind on an airplane. They make long flights pass pleasantly. I don't have to marvel at the use of language or metaphor or puzzle over how the author pulled off such a mind-bogglingly intricate plot. I just read it and forget it, perhaps a habit I learned back in high school when I read any book I could get my hands on.”
