Am I Alone Here: Notes on Living to Read and Reading to Live by Peter Orner
4.5 stars



There exists no greater delight to a reader than a book on the joy, and necessity, of books and reading.  The author here, writes about the books that have sustained him through difficult times in his life, such as the death of his father.  First of all, this book is nicely put together with a beautiful cover, sturdy flaps and nice illustrations of each book discussed.  Divided into chapters discussing a particular book, mostly short story collections, there is a diverse array to read about, many that I had never read.  Wonderfully written and full of great observations on the power of a good story, I recommend this to all passionate readers.  I received this book from the LibraryThing giveaway in exchange for an honest review.
