Reading in Bed by Brian Doyle
4.0
Brian Doyle is the master of long never-ending sentences, and I loved getting to know him better through this brief book of "headlong" essays about reading and writing. His sense of humor jumped off the page, and made me laugh out loud.
His books to read by age essay was hilarious (and inspired me to make a list HERE. His Christmas letter essay, which closes out the book was also a masterpiece.
Overall, I enjoyed the pieces about reading more than the ones about writing, but my general feeling was one of joy in a beautiful voice and some hilarious observations about the world.
