The Pleasures of a Great Book

What to Read and Why by Francine Prose
Publication Date - July 3, 2018
🌟🌟🌟🌟🌟



I have discovered that no other writer displays an inextinguishable passion for reading and books like Francine Prose.  The level of close reading she undertakes in order to really absorb a work of literature is inspiring and a joy itself to read.  As she explains in her introduction, this collection is a mix of book reviews, introductions to classics and various relevant essays.  Many authors were familiar but many more were added to my ever expanding list of books to read in the future.  My recommendation is to read them slowly, not only to discover "what to read and why" but to also learn how to read in order to become fully immersed in a story.  I kindly received a copy of this book from the publisher in exchange for an honest review.
