Download The Year of Reading Dangerously: How Fifty Great Books Saved My Life AudioBook Free
An editor and writer's vivaciously enjoyable, and frequently moving, memoir - a genuine report that reminds us why we have to all make amount of time in our lives for literature.Nearing his fortieth birthday, author and critic Andy Miller came to the realization he's not almost as well read as he'd like to be. A devout publication lover who in some way fell from the habit of reading, he started to ponder the energy of books to improve a person life-including his own-and to explain the sort of person he would like to be. Beginning with a backup of Bulgakov's Master and Margarita that he happens to find 1 day in a bookstore, he embarks on a literary odyssey of mindful reading and wry introspection. From Middlemarch to Anna Karenina to A Confederacy of Dunces, they are books Miller thought he should read; literature he'd always wished to read; literature he'd previously started but hadn't finished; and literature he'd lied about having read to impress people. Incorporating memoir and literary criticism, The Season of Reading Dangerously is Miller's heartfelt, humorous, and honest study of what this means to be a reader. Passionately thinking that books should have to be read, savored, and debated in the real world, Miller documents his reading encounters and exactly how they resonated in his daily life and finally his very sense of personal. The effect is a witty and insightful voyage of breakthrough and soul-searching that celebrates the abiding miracle of the publication and the energy of reading.
