So Many Books, So Little Time: A Year of Passionate Reading by Sara Nelson
1.0
Normally I love books about books and I'd heard this one was good, so I was quite disappointed to find that, well, it just wasn't.
The author really irritated me at times - she's snobby enough to read two books at a time so that she can always be 'seen' reading something intellectual while keeping her 'real' books at home and is willing to forgo friendships with people who have different book tastes.
I'm not even sure she actually likes reading - she thinks people who reread lack any intellectual capacity and constantly refers to reading as 'work.' I mean, yes, she reviews books for a living but she needs to take a 'reading break' from the exhaustion from reading a book a week.
She comes across as so snobby that she profoundly annoyed me enough to affect my opinion of the book.
