Am I Alone Here?: Notes on Living to Read and Reading to Live by Peter Orner

4.0

I was really wavering between 3 and 4 stars for this one, but I decided to give Am I Alone Here? 4 stars because some of the passages were just too good. According to Goodreads I highlighted 59 extracts in this book, and I'm not surprised. Many of the stories were moving, funny, etc. but there was a bit of lull midway, that the author couldn't full shirk off.

Lots of quotable material, but too many rhetorical questions. Sometimes this book read like an extended Carrie Bradshaw monologue.

For the most part however, I enjoyed this book, and I enjoyed reading about the passion Peter Orner has for books.
