A review by bunrab
One for the Books by Joe Queenan

3.0

Very idiosyncratic and personal essays about what he reads and why, what he doesn't read and why - and how he thinks the Kindle is useless for a "real" reader - it's only for people who have some kind of problem. He doesn't seem to have talked with anyone who actually reads books on a Kindle. Yeah, I'm picking on a small thing out of all he talked about - except that he gives that dig at the Kindle in EVERY DAMN CHAPTER no matter what else it's about. Anyway, some of his stuff is amusing, some of it's just blather. You might find some of his book recommendations interesting. His calculations of how many more books he has time to read in his remaining lifetime, and how he plans to allocate those book slots, are amusing. Nothing in his book is astonishing.
