So Many Books, So Little Time: A Year of Passionate Reading by Sara Nelson
2.0
This book seemed to be every bookworm’s dream, a book about books! The author spends one year reading a book a week and writing about it. Sara Nelson, like me, is one who reads books from several genres and on different subjects. Readers will likely find books they’ve read, want to read or have never heard of.
Some of the stories Nelson includes in her book are relatable to those of us who love reading and reading often. Many of the chapters examine her life and how the books she is reading relate to it. However, nothing very profound or memorable seems to occur. This book won’t be one I reread, or even one that I remember that well. It was barely interesting enough to hold my attention for a couple of days.
If for no other reason, readers will enjoy this book because it leads them towards many other books that they may not have found otherwise. My own reading list has certainly grown after reading this book.
