ababoglo 's review for:

4.0

Very very enjoyable. Essentially, a neat stack of love letters to reading and books and everything in-between.

Why 4*? It felt a little too highbrow (a 'common reader' in the title should not be taken literally), some of the essays felt a little too formulaic and the storytelling focused a little too much on Fadimans (as opposed to a 'common reader' :)

Still a delightful read!
