About the Book A well-known publishing correspondent shares her unique memoir of the interplay between life and the books readers choose to read. Book Synopsis Will make many readers smile with recognition.-- The New Yorker Readaholics, meet your new best friend.-- People This book is bliss.-- The Boston Globe Sometimes subtle, sometimes striking, the interplay between our lives and our books is the subject of this unique memoir by well-known publishing correspondent and self-described readaholic Sara Nelson. The project began as an experiment with a simple plan--fifty-two weeks, fifty-two books--that fell apart in the first week. It was then that Sara realized the books chose her as much as she chose them, and the rewards and frustrations they brought were nothing she could plan for. From Solzhenitsyn to Laura Zigman, Catherine M. to Captain Underpants, the result is a personal chronicle of insight, wit, and enough infectious enthusiasm to make a passionate reader out of anybody.
