Ruined by Reading: A Life in Books by Lynne Sharon Schwartz
3.0
This is a short book in which Schwartz shares her opinions on reading and life.
The fact that it is not divided into chapters was annoying to me. It made it harder to stop and start, since I didn't want to read it all at once.
Some of her thoughts are spot-on, others I couldn't relate to. Some of her writing is pretentious. There were spoilers for a couple books.
There were too many little sexual references for my taste; though not graphic, they were still unnecessary.
Despite these flaws, I did enjoy the read overall, and have added a few books she mentioned to my to-read list.
