My Review....The book title got me in and the book's blurb really hooked me. A year of reading nothing but books from my own shelves. This is exactly what I've been trying to do for two years, with little success! I take my hat of to Susan Hill for sticking to her guns and loved hearing about the books she chose to read and why she chose to read them. For her year of reading she selected 40 books covering poetry, fiction, non fiction, religion, plays and journals. I particularly liked how we were given The List at the end of the book. The author has really thrown down the gauntlet to me, so next year it is, you're on Susan Hill - I accept your challenge! Reading about someone else's love of reading, hearing why they re-read certain books and how they arrange their collection is so much fun if you're a bit of a bibliophile yourself. To quote from the end of the first chapter...."I climbed two flights of elm-wood stairs to the top landing in search of a book, and found myself embarked on a year of travelling through the books of a lifetime." Now that's my kind of travel - 4 stars.
