So Many Books, So Little Time: A Year of Passionate Reading by Sara Nelson
3.0
This isn't so much a book about other books as it is a book about the process of reading. As such, I related to many of the author's musings, including what induces a person to choose a book, or choosing friends based on what they like to read.
I had to read this with my laptop next to me to look up many of the books she mentions. Overall, I do not think I have the same reading taste/interest as this author.
The book was written nearly a decade ago, but somehow manages to feel dated. Maybe because it was immediately post 9/11 and pre-housing crisis, or perhaps because she extols the virtues of James Frey's "A Million Little Pieces" which looks silly now post the big Oprah debacle.
If it were a movie I would definitely call it a renter.
