After arriving at someones home I say hello and attempt to surreptiously peruse the titles on their shelves. What better way to a get a taste for who they are. In this small book editor Leah Price interviews thirteen contemporary writers. some better known than others. What are their earliest memories of books? When did they begin to buy books? How do they organize their libraries? Do they dispose of unwanted books and if so how? Each author selects their ten favorite books. However. what is most interesting are the photos of their bookshelves in all their disarray.(You will no long feel guilty about your own sloppy shelves.) The reader gets to be a voyeur (you may need a magnifying glass to assist with this) and see who owns what. The biggest surprise to me is that I saw few art books on their shelves and none on music.If you are a booklover spend a couple of hours with this delightful book. If you know a booklover this would make an outstanding gift.7 of 7 people found the following review helpful. I enjoyed seeing the writers libraries. butBy AllwazthinkingThe narrative that accompanied each writers library photos was repetitive and often too obscure to be of much use to the general reader. I appreciated that most of them were extreme collectors who loved their books. but. like many book collectors. their reasons for their selections were elusive. I would have liked to know more about which books actually aided them in their own writing.1 of 1 people found the following review helpful. Just as expected.By Kindle CustomerI was interested in what others do with their books....displaying. arranging. saving. discarding and reading them. Their 10 favorite books were surprising....very few reads after 1990. A fine selection of accomplished writers.
