Ex Libris: 100+ Books to Read and Reread by Michiko Kakutani

2.0

I gave this rather low marks, because it’s essentially a well-written list rather than a book. Now that I admit that, it sounds petty. Some of Kakutani’s descriptions of books are excellent, albeit frustratingly concise. But that’s the point: the book exists as a large unordered list rather than a reference, or other. How interesting can someone else’s reading list be?
