I'd Rather Be Reading: The Delights and Dilemmas of the Reading Life by Anne Bogel
My rating: 4 of 5 stars

Anne Bogel has written a charming book with substance. In one chapter, she describes how reading choices informs the woman she is. In her childhood, the decision of what to read was elected for her and then in adulthood, she moved to governing her reading habits. This differs from my experience. Only when I was a toddler did my elders choose books for me. Once I learned to read, I was free to read what intrigued me, provided it wasn't gruesome or explicit. She admits she rereads books. Once I turned 30, I ceased this habit. So many books, so little time. I record my opinions of a book along with the dates read. But I've lost the interest to reread books. 

This book fits springtime.
