I'd Rather Be Reading


Anne Bogel gets me. She gets the person who would rather read than eat. Who doesn't know the meaning of "just one more chapter." When asked, "How many books do you need," answers, "Just one more."

Bogel not only loves to read; she knows how to write as well. In her new book, "I'd Rather Be Reading" she offers 21 short chapters on topics readers often fuss over - the struggle of recommending a book to a friend...dealing with those books on the shelves not yet read...what to do when exhausting all book shelf space...not being afraid of going back to a book that you couldn't find much reason for reading the first time.

Having trouble arranging your book shelves? Bogel has some tips. Never read the acknowledgements section in a book? Bogel says it's worth the time. Never heard the term 'bibliotherapy?" Check it out on page 60.

I don't seem to find too many friends who enjoy reading the way I do. That's why I like Anne Bogel so much. She gets me. And I was glad to get and read "I'd Rather Be Reading."
