I honestly blind-bought this book and thought it would be a novel like her bestseller. After it arrived, I found out that it’s actually an essay collection — but at least it’s about books (I know, I could have read the description, but as I said, I bought it blindly). One of the first things I really enjoyed was the translation; the job was done wonderfully. I also loved how short the chapters were. It wasn’t like those pseudo-psychology books (e.g., James Clear’s Atomic Habits) where every point is mentioned at least five times and the author never seems to come to an end, so the chapters just go on and on. Here, everything was short, informative, and emotional — and I appreciated that a lot. I liked her arguments, her recommendations, and the points she made. Overall, it’s a really good essay collection that might be helpful if you’re lacking motivation to read or are stuck in a reading slump.
