As a true book lover, I was drawn to this book by the title. However, I found the book a little disjointed and less about the joy of reading books in general, less about the transportive effect of books, and more a literary analysis of various books thrown in amongst various autobiographical bits of the author's life. Also, I have a bit of a "pebble in my shoe" issue after reading this book. I very much dislike it when authors throw in certain "facts" to support an argument but don't provide you with enough detail to verify the data for yourself. Corrigan states that "according to a Wall Street Journal article of a few years ago, some 59 percent of Americans don’t own a single book. Not a cookbook or even the Bible" pxiv-xv. I found this "fact" astounding! However, Corrigan does not provide a year or a title of the article; I suppose I should be grateful that she at least sources the periodical. I have attempted to track this down, to verify it--no luck. The only thing that I can come up with that is even in the ballpark is a Roper poll from 1978 indicating that 45% of American's polled had not read a book that year. And yet...yet, there are these moments, these small moments, where she does talk about the impact of books on her life, the power of the written word. Many of these ring as "true" for me, as a bibliophile. For instance, one of my favorite quotes from the book:“…sometimes even a few good sentences contained in an otherwise unexceptional book can crystallize vague feelings, fleeting physical sensations, or, sometimes, profound epiphanies." Yes! Unfortunately, I think the quote also is descriptive of her own work--a few good sentances in an otherwise unexceptional book. Quotes: "I think that, consciously or not, what we readers do each time we open a book is set off on a search for authenticity. We want to get closer to the heart of things, and sometimes even a few good sentences contained in an otherwise unexceptional book can crystallize vague feelings, fleeting physical sensations, or, sometimes, profound epiphanies. Good writing is writing that’s on target…” p xvi "I've also noticed that I use semicolons a lot. That punctionational rut is partly a consequence of the years I spent reading victorian nonfictional prose writers...who were capable of raging on in page-lenght semicolon-studded sentences...But there's more to it than that. The semicolon is my psychological metaphor, my mascot. It's the punctuation mark that qualifies, hesitatates, and ties together ideas and parts of a life that shoot off in different directions. I think my reliance on the semicolon signifies that I want to hold on to my background...and yet, also transcend it." pxxxi

Trashy, unbelievable, horrifying, and quite simply the most addicting story ever.

Interesting look at God and salvation. Not sure I agree with the author's take on religion, but apprecaited some of the insights. An interesting story.

I consider myself very lucky to own an original 1910 copy of this book. It is exquisitely beautiful. As a child, I didn't read it but would stare for hours at the beautiful illustrations by Edmund DuLac. It is very well written, of course, something which, as an adult, I can now appreciate fully. Given the words and phrases used, it does not lend itself very well to bedtime reading for children. But instead, a whimsical journey of lands far, far away for adult Prince and Princesses wishing to lose themselves in traditional fairy tales.

I promise it didn't take me a year to read this book. I should probably update this website more. Part satire, part travelogue, "A Tramp Abroad" talks up Europe's beauties without sparing its idiosyncrasies. Twain skewers Old World traditions and American travelers alike (and it's amazing how little has changed since 1880). The laughs make it worthwhile to plow through some long-winded landscape descriptions -- and you'll end up longing to see the Alps. Free on Kindle: http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B000...

A classic historical fiction novel (orignally published in the '70s) uses an entertaining story to provide a better global understanding of the establishment of the Jewish state. While definitely pro-Jewish, the story gives background to better understand the ongoing Israeli-Palistinian (or broader, the East vs. West) conflict. Slow at the beginning, but once you get into the story its definitely worth the time commitment.

Blaine Anderson visits a clinic and there is an explosion. She discovers that someone was trying to kill her and ends up on the street, afraid to go home. A very heart-wrenching romantic suspense. I wasn't sure how this could be a romance when the 2 main characters were separated by such dire circumstances. But it was. I wasn't expecting such a suspenseful story from this author. I have read some of her western romances and this is nothing like them.

Just because someone is a superb writer doesn't mean that he HAS TO write an autobiography.
