This is a 5 star book for me.
I've just finished reading this book, which I started on January 1st 2015. It's been a long, but worthwhile, haul (45 chapters long)! I have been reading it as a group read in a Goodreads group; we have been reading each chapter and then choosing our own sidereads to go alongside each chapter.

I will be taking my time reading through this and falling down the rabbit hole that is reading the other books Schmidt references. Because I have too much time on my hands.
So I will update this review as I go, listing the books as I complete them and linking to my review so I can find them all in one place someday down the line.
Completed!:
Chapter 1: "Literature is Invention"
-The Travels of Sir John Mandeville, Sir John Mandeville (trans. C.W.R.D. Moseley)
Chapter 2: True Stories
-Le Morte d'Arthur ...more

I spent a whole year reading this book, and reading books discussed in this book. It has quite simply been the best year of reading of my life.
