This was just not a book written for me – don't need encouragement to read, and widely. Not crazy about his overall approach in the practical half of the book, either. Sure it's advice, not edicts, but if you ask me, the reasoning is off.
And don't get me started on that nonsense about marking-up books. Sure, I know a lot of people do it – even some of my friends – but people (even friends) watch Survivor or America's Got Talent. Doesn't mean it's a good idea. Show some respect, Reinke, trees gave their lives for those things you're covering with graffiti.
Every now and then, he overwrites a passage, but on the whole, a decent enough read, and it could be a decent tool in the right hands. Those hands just aren't mine.
