The Unreadable Book
13 Jul
Once again I am humbled by/jealous of someone else’s summer reading list. Doug Bruns read 27 books in 12 months (while critiquing for a literary site, of course) all of which are hefty tomes that exemplify what Robert Nozick called the unreadable – and therefore intriguing- book. That’s it. This is my I’m not going to the gym excuse for the night. I need to catch up on my read!

“I am a reader first. If I were an addict, I would get high and while high, presumably, worry about where I was to get my next fix. Reading is not all that different, I think. As a reader, I am always looking over the binding thinking about the next read, in some instances, longing for it. Some books, like some highs, are better than others. But even with not-so-good books–and there where two this past year I did not see to completion–I will come back to the drug, seeking the next high. I will always be a reader. Of this I am certain.”
