I have very mixed feelings about this book. On the plus side: the author clearly loves books, and he recommends some great ones. His anecdotes about shopping in used bookstores are relatable for any book hoarder. On the other hand, some of his efforts at humor come across as a bit sexist at best and are at times absolutely cringey. (For example: "....and further readung explained why many of the seventh- and eigth-grade girls had hugged copies of the Margaret Mitchell novel to their budding bosoms." Ummmm..... just no). This book was written in 2009 so I will give the author the benefit of the doubt and assume that were it written today he would have know better. Because of the sexist/cringey things I subtract 1 star.
