just wasn't on the same page as the author. i read these once in a while to hear someone else confess their love of books and talk about books that have changed their way of thinking. ~it did remind me of being a little kid, having a terrible day, completely losing myself in a Nancy Drew book, and somehow making the connection that i could escape into reading. but the second half of this (incredibly short book) just didn't resonate as she talked about writing, the death of the book, and provided some 'must reads'. all in all - something to skip.
