Reverting to Type: a Reader's Story

Reverting to Type: a Reader's Story

2012

Short Review: This is a short (about 32 pages) companion piece to Jacob's book The Pleasures of Reading in an Age of Distraction. Jacobs said he has been asked about his own reading methods and history in regard to what he wrote in Pleasures of Reading, so he wrote this companion piece to flesh out how his own ‘whim' reading works and how his background of genre book reading influences is current reading. I think this is a helpful addition to the Pleasures of Reading. But if you have not read that book, then this will not be all that useful. It is currently only $0.99 and worth picking up if you liked Pleasures of Reading.
