Okay, so let kids read out loud and don't make them talk about what they feel so much. I can get behind that.

What a delightful book! Pennac took the illusive thoughts and feelings of a book lover and put them into words. He was able to describe and comment on feelings that we usually feel are solitary ones. A great book for parents, teachers, students, new readers, and those who feel the weight to be "well-read."

We only had to read a few parts of this book for English this year but I really couldn't get into it. I mean, a book about reading. I already read. Loads. So this was never very relevant to me. Oh well. But French! And French things that I understood! Huzzah!

L’uomo costruisce case perché é vivo ma scrive libri perché si sa mortale .
Il mondo si divide in due parti: quelli che odiano Pennac e quelli che lo amano. Io mi ritrovo nella seconda fazione: ogni sua parola per me è amore. Pendo dalle sue labbra (penna).

I wanted to love this book more. There's lots to love in it - especially the ten readers' rights - but there's a bit of waffle too! A blog post may follow...one day.

This book is wonderful. It sparked a new desire to bring our family back to reading. In fact, I'm going right now to start reading The Hobbit to the kids.

"The issue is not whether or not I have the time to read (after all, no one will give me that time), but whether I will allow myself the joy of being a reader."
I had forgotten about the Reader's Bill of Rights so it was comforting to revisit them.

I loved everything about this book. It's a must-read for teachers, librarians, parents...anyone, really.
