Bound to Please: An Extraordinary One-Volume Literary Education: Essays on Great Writers and Their Books by Michael Dirda
5.0
I really enjoyed this book. It was my first Dirda and won't be my last.
I have picked up two books based on Dirda's recommendations. Though both were good, I didn't enjoy it as much as he did. But I guess everything is better when consumed with an expert's palatte?
Dirda's writing is great and inspiring. It's kind of like reading book about books. Except there are stories about stories. He has definitely opened my eyes to more authors writing outside of my own country.
Well worth picking up for anyone who enjoys the written word and wants to see what else is out there.
