review 1: This book only took about 4 hours to read, including breaks for food, youtube, and chatting with family. Most of the authors featured in this book I was already familiar with and had added selections to my tbr. I did add several more books, and it was just interesting to read about authors and their work, and to observe the different ways people recommend moving through any author's work. There is a very wide range of authors featured, and several of them I doubt I'll ever read. But it's such a great idea for a book that I recommend Vol. 1 and 2 for anyone who loves reading and wants to learn even more.
review 2: As a kickstarter backer, I was thrilled to receive my ebook of Start Here Volume 2 over the holiday break. Just like the first volume, this book sugge... morests reading pathways through the work of some of the most well-known authors. This volume had more authors I hadn't heard of than the first, which I appreciated. Some were a but obvious - Read Animal Farm and 1984 if you're interested in George Orwell! - but others, like Jennifer Egan and Toni Morrison, were more nuanced, thoughtful, and interesting. The full list of authors covered is: Isaac Asimov, Octavia Butler, Anne Carson, Douglas Coupland, Roald Dahl, Jennifer Egan, Dave Eggers, William Faulkner, John Green, Ursula K. Le Guin, Colum McCann, China Mieville, David Mitchell, Alan Moore, Toni Morrison, Flannery O'Connor, George Orwell, Dorothy Parker, Charles Portis, Philip Roth, Salman Rushdie, James Salter, John Steinbeck, Daniel Woodrall, and Virginia Woolf. The book itself is a quick read cover-to-cover, but you're sure to return again and again as you decide what to read next. Read it with Goodreads open so you can add to your "want to read" shelf easily. less
