5.0 out of 5 stars writers = readers of books 3 Jun 2000
By "libarian" - Published on Amazon.com
Format:Paperback
Most adults who are avid readers suffered the same condition as a child. Here are reminiscences of contemporary writers revealing their introductions to a life-long preoccupation with the magic and mystery of words and reading. Many common elements emerge: being read to at a very young age, fascination with the ideas and lives of other people, a special person (friend or family) who passes on a love for reading to a child. (Are we all closet voyeurs, peeking in at the childhood experiences common to many?) It's been a pleasure to read about the pleasures of reading.
3.0 out of 5 stars An average book about books 12 Aug 2011
By Sibelius - Published on Amazon.com
Format:Paperback
This was a mixed-bag assortment of essays on the pleasures of reading that varied in quality from stale and meaningless to the occasional brilliant nugget that ultimately made the entire experience worthwhile.
