Practical Classics: 50 Reasons to Reread 50 Books You Haven't Touched Since High School by Kevin Smokler

5.0

I'd started reading this book quickly, essay after essay. But then realized that I wasn't keeping the books straight in my mind and decided to slow down and read them one essay at a time with intervals in between. So at this rate it may take me another 3-6 months to finish this book, but I'm liking this longer approach to the book. The essays give a very good picture of elements of the books that I did not grasp when I was younger and it gives me little hints into the thought processes behind the author. It's a very good balance between analysis, critique, guided reading suggestions, and opinion of the author. I'm enjoying the book thoroughly.
