A love letter to books and the readers who read them. ❤️ Ignoring the part where he says tropey books are bad. 👀

Como una novela fue recomendado por mi doctora para que me respondiera diferentes preguntas acerca de la adolescencia. ¿Lo logró? Oh claro que sí. Aunque me demore bastante al leerlo (para ser una novela relativamente corta, pero existen más libros que son prioritarios) pude mantener en ritmo y terminarlo la mañana de hoy.

Esta novela explica muchas cosas y al dedicar mi tiempo libre a leer, me pude sentir identificada con el 90% de las afirmaciones dadas por Pennac.

Daniel Pennac, the self-proclaimed defender of literary liberties, takes us on a whimsical journey through the joyous world of reading in this quirky little treatise. Pennac's manifesto is like a breath of fresh air in a world where reading feels more like a chore. Drawing from his own mishaps and triumphs as a reader, parent, and teacher in the wilds of Paris, he makes a compelling case for the simple act of diving headfirst into a good book without worrying about literary choices or intellectual prowess.

With a illustrations by Quentin Blake – yes, that Quentin Blake, of Roald Dahl illustration fame – The Rights of the Reader feels less like a stuffy lecture and more like a cozy chat with your wacky uncle who's convinced that books are the answer to all of life's mysteries (spoiler alert: they're not, but they sure make the journey a heck of a lot more entertaining).

So, if you're tired of feeling like you need a permission slip from the literary gods to crack open a book and actually enjoy it, then Pennac's guide to reading is the perfect antidote. Just don't be surprised if you find yourself nodding along, chuckling at his anecdotes, and secretly plotting your next escape into the pages of a good story. After all, it's your right as a reader – embrace it, my friends.
