I recently finished The Pleasures of Reading in an Age of Distraction by Alan Jacobs. It's for those of us enamoured of books and reading. Some wonderful advice: 'Read at Whim' and ' Read what gives you delight - at least most of the time - and do so without shame'! This book gives permission to leave off reading 'great literature', at least most of the time, and instead choose what works for you at the time.
Highly recommended!
