Ex Libris: 100+ Books to Read and Reread by Michiko Kakutani

1.0

While there are several books mentioned that I absolutely plan on reading, this author’s bias is very hard to get around. In nearly every essay, he draws a comparison to the current times we are living in, taking every opportunity to mention the evil despot, Donald J. Trump. He really should charge rent for how much he allows him to live in his head. I also didn’t appreciate the Odyssey being mentioned next to the memoirs of Barrack Obama. I don’t have anything against the guy, but I’m over the idolizing. I just really expected a book of foundational reads and was sorely disappointed.
