When I first picked up this book I couldn't imagine how you could fill 80-some, or however many pages there were, about how much one person enjoyed reading. Luckily, Ms. Quindlen was able to fill them marvelously. Reading her words were like hearing echoes about my own life growing up reading books. It was like she was speaking for me and through me and about me. I thoroughly enjoyed this and also enjoyed hearing someone else write about the same experiences and feelings that I have always had when it comes to books.
