Why I Read

the Serious Pleasure of Books

Why I read is not at all the same as why Wendy Lesser reads. When I read the prologue I felt hopeful because she wrote about reading for pleasure. But then the following chapters were more like literary criticism to me and not so much about reading for pleasure. It might have helped if I had read more than a couple of the books she refers to, but maybe not. Because so much of what she wrote was about books I haven't read, it made it more difficult to connect with what she was saying.
