How Reading Changed My Life- Quindlen (Book #6)
This is a very slim book clocking in at just about 80 pages. I wanted to read a tribute to reading which is the reason I picked this book up from the library. This is truly an ode to those who love to read. She writes about how there has always been in nearly every decade and century, bemoaning of the death of fine literature, and she also looks down on those who are book snobs. Reading is not just for the sake of judging its merit, but reading is also to empathize with others, to feel less lonely, to understand the world around you, to travel without leaving your sofa. In short, if you want a pat on the back to keep on reading though the others may call you a bookworm, check this short book out.
