First, let's make a few things clear: Andy Miller does not read dangerously. He does not save his life by reading. And he only reads fifty great books (and ONE not-so-great one).

Now that the lies in the title are set aside, I can tell you what this book really is: Andy Miller is a funny guy and you will love his yearlong trip through fifty classics. (Though, for truth-in-advertising reasons, I feel compelled to warn you that I completely disagreed with his opinions on every book: War and Peace is not an easy read...Middlemarch is not daunting...and, most of all, I loathed his favorite read of the year, Under the Volcano.) Take the trip with Andy and I suspect you will organize your own Year of Reading Dangerously soon.
