review 1: A must-read book for book lovers (only book lovers can enjoy reading about what another book lover reads). I don't agree with all Queenan's viewpoints (I believe eBooks can be just as enjoyable as a physical item, but on a different level) or philosophies (self-proclaimed Luddites who are proud to call themselves Luddites are not my usual companions). But his passion for the art and act of reading is wonderful. Inspiring, even. This is a dangerous book that makes you want to read more books.
review 2: I really enjoyed this book, in a sort of self-absorbed way. (But then it's a sort of self-absorbed book.) It is a book about books and about reading by an avid reader. Sometimes his prejudices and habits are irritating, but overall, I was interested to read ano... morether insatiable reader's account of his reading habits over the course of his lifetime. Read it if you love reading. If you don't, don't bother. less
