I Wrote This Book Because I Love You: Essays by Tim Kreider

4.0

”And I’ll probably still be evading the same fact I’m evading now: that the life I ended up with, much as I complain about it, was pretty much the one I wanted. And that whatever dissatisfactions I have with it are really with my own character.”

As with so many of the books I read, I can’t remember why I wanted to read something by Krieder. Somewhere I ran across his name and/or writings and thought I would enjoy what he had to say. Now that I have access to ebooks from three different library systems, it is easy to just download a book and add it to my reading pile and so I do.

I did enjoy reading Krieder and learning about his relationships with women and with his cat. The essay on the cat was amusing. My favorite essays were about Krieder’s teaching. I suspect he is an excellent teacher and that his students learn a great deal.

I hope that someday, I will read more essays by him.
