Browsings: A Year of Reading, Collecting, and Living with Books

This could be your Book About Books for the 2017 Reading Challenge. From the publisher: "Michael Dirda has been hailed as 'the best-read person in America' (The Paris Review). In addition to the Pulitzer Prize he was awarded for his reviews in The Washington Post, Dirda's latest volume collects fifty of his witty and wide-ranging reflections on literary journalism, book collecting, and the writers he loves. Reaching from the classics to the post-moderns, his allusions dance from Samuel Johnson, Ralph Waldo Emerson and M. F. K. Fisher to Marilynne Robinson, Hunter S. Thompson, and David Foster Wallace. Funny and erudite, Browsings is a celebration of the reading life, and perfect for any booklover."
