No one interested in books and reading can fail to be intrigued by
this collection of essays about the whole business of writing and
how it can capture, delight, irritate and generally stimulate us.
There are all sorts of insights here - plus a defence of Philip
Larkin and the discovery of Jane Eyre. Joseph Epstein says he once
tried to give up reading for a day and found it much more difficult
than giving up smoking. For those of us who share that experience,
this book is absolutely necessary. (Kirkus UK)
Leading writers and critics, including Margaret Drabble, Alan Sillitoe and Ferdinand Mount, share their passion for books and the joys of reading in an inspiring collection of essays and writings. A Passion for Books is both a celebration of the value and importance of reading and a spirited defence against the many gloomy voices in our so-called electronic age who say the book will soon be obsolete. This book, itself a joy to read, is written for anyone who cares at all about the past and future of books and reading.
