My Life With Bob

Flawed Heroine Keeps Book of Books, Plot Ensues
Jun 07, 2017AmandaG7 rated this title 4 out of 5 stars
This is a book about books interspersed with stories from the life of an avid reader. It's a perfect book for any bibliophile because you will find yourself nodding along with all her comments about the wonderful smell of new (and old) books, the inability to pick just one book at a bookstore, the never ending piles of to be read books and the overall joy reading brings. Considering that this was written by the editor of the New York Times Book Review, I appreciated how utterly unsnobbish Paul was about books and was willing to read and admit to reading all types of books. My only complaint was that I wish there was more. There were parts of her life that were mentioned only in passing and I would have enjoyed hearing more about her family life and a lot more about her very cool job!
