The World Between Two Covers: Reading the Globe
by Ann Morgan
I feel like I will be approaching my reading differently and more conscientiously having read this book. Most of the chapters are compulsive reads. I really enjoyed learning about the differences in access to and opinions of publishing from around the world. Anecdotes of Morgan overcoming barriers to obtaining works from specific places, especially at the goodwill of others, were perhaps the most compelling parts of the book. I struggled with the chapters on culture shock and representations of the West as they were much too reliant on literary theory rather than the application of Morgan's reading experience. Overall this book was well worth picking up after being on my TBR for too many years.
