For the Love of Books: Stories of Literary Lives, Banned Books, Author Feuds, Extraordinary Characters, and More by Graham Tarrant
5.0
This was a really fun book.
Pages of fun facts about your favorite authors, favorite books and interesting bits of knowledge.
For example -
Words coined by authors such as Lewis Carroll's "chortle" or Dr. Seuss's "nerd"
And first draft book titles -
Imagine reading about Elizabeth Bennet in Jane Austens "First Impressions"
Or about lavish Jay Gatsby in F.Scott Fitzgerald's "Incident at West Egg"
The author also gives you reading recommendations - for example
the "Book of the month"
"Doctor January" - By Rhoda Baxter all the way to "A week In December" - By Sebastian Faulks.
This truly is a book for book lovers.
