Alcune allusioni fatte da questo libro sono state troppo “elevate” perchè io le potessi capire, ma riconosco la mia ignoranza in merito... Ma altre.
Altre sono insegnamenti, sono illuminazioni, sono luoghi comuni in cui ritrovarsi e altri su cui sorridere. L'autore è brillante, sagace e capisce fin troppo bene cosa pensa un lettoscrittore del XXI secolo: l'ho trovato geniale!
Un libro che parla di libri, di lettori e di scrittura… che secondo me ci perde, ad essere un libro.
Le tavole sono assolutamente argute, dettagliate e ricche di piccole perle... tanto che leggerle così, una dopo l’altra, secondo me non le valorizza.
Avrei preferito una cosa più originale, non so, una specie di “fascicolo” contenente cartoline sfuse da poter regalare alle persone che mi ricordavano quelle cose o da appendere sulla scrivania per ricordarmi che certe cose sono normali e altre sono sfide da affrontare e vincere. Così si rischia di leggerlo la prima volta e di infilarlo in libreria per sfogliarlo distrattamente di tanto in tanto.

3.5/5 Stars. I will say, I don’t think I am the target audience for this book. This is more for writers than straight readers. It is very witty and academic and I think a lot of what is in here would go over a lot of people’s heads as I’m sure a fair bit went over my head. I did really enjoy this, and I LOVED the art style in this book. If you are a writer or an aspiring writer who especially loves classic literature and poetry, then this book is for you.
The first illustrations were so interesting. However, I felt that further forward it was more of the same.
Perhaps a better way to read this would be to read one a day.

Just not what I was expecting.
A sweet collection of comics celebrating reading, books, poetry, and the writer’s life. I’ve read many of these on the last page of the NYT book review. This book brought a smile to my face.
A book about reading books/ writing books and that too a graphic novel. What else could I wish for?
I had heard great things about grant and his work. Experiencing this book has made me a fan.
So relatable and so apt! Truly loved it.

Some lovely illustrated thoughts about books, reading and writing.
3.5/5
Lovely artwork. I think it was a little repetitive at times but overall it was quite charming and beautiful.

Very pretentious.
Some comics felt very snobbish, and others require the reader to have background knowledge.
I was expecting something with more humor because of the title but it was not the case.
The illustrations are just okay and I was bored most of the time.
Even if it´s a short book I felt it was not worth it.
It's a shame they promoted it as "a book for readers", I think most of the comics of the part that I read would land better with writers.
