Comment parler des livres que l'on n'a pas lus ? by Pierre Bayard
inspiring

4.0
This book is a light-hearted exploration of knowledge and its social aspect. Bayard's cheeky title hides a celebration of reading and not-reading--two activities I spend much of my time on. It's sweet and smart, it's an uplifting read for those who might be self-conscious about a perceived lack of literary knowledge.
It's about creation and imagination and fun. Mostly, it's about remembering that reading books and talking about books are two completely different things. At the end of the day, it's about remembering that reading is all about you. Not your stuffy lit professor, or your judgy father-in-law, or the tinder date you're trying desperately to impress. Or your yearly pages goal.
I cannot wait to discuss this book with people who have not read it.
