So Many Books, So Little Time: A Year of Passionate Reading by Sara Nelson
5.0
I have read this book 7 times over the last 10 or 12 years. It is comfort reading to me. I love books about books.
Sara Nelson is currently the editorial director at Amazon. She's been the book editor at Oprah Magazine, and before that, she was the editor-in-chief at Publisher's Weekly. Basically, she has made a career out of reading books. What a life!
This book is her memoir about the year she decided to read a book a week and write about it. It's not a book of reviews. It's more like a book about how reading and life intersect. About how she chose her books and how the right book seemed to be waiting for her at just the right time.
I love reading about her life in New York City. I'm pretty sure if I moved to New York, I would end up a recluse, too afraid to leave my apartment. But I like reading about her riding in taxis and meeting friends in cool cafes and lunching in expensive restaurants. Tres Chic!
