Reports of the death of reading are greatly exaggerated

Recenzje

"Price's book-unlike other examples of what she calls 'autobibliography'-is funny and hopeful, rather than dour and pious...What We Talk About When We Talk About Books is an enjoyable tour, full of surprising byways into historical arcana."-Jennifer Szalai, New York Times
