How to Talk About Books You Haven't Read by Pierre Bayard

4.0

How to Talk About Books You Haven't Read discusses the "risks" of reading, as well as unreading, not-reading, forgetting what we read and so on. Bayard writes that at the same time we pick up and read a book, we also involuntarily not pick up and not read all the other books in the universe.

It's paradoxical, clever and occasionally humorous, but I also found it a bit dull.
