Books for Living by Will Schwalbe

3.0

Always a sucker for a book about books. I liked the format. A different universal theme for each chapter (e.g. slowing down, searching, trusting, solving problems, quitting, traveling etc.) and a book(s) to represent that theme, with references to applicable events and aspects of the author's own life. Makes me wonder books I would pick to represent those themes, and what my applicable life stories might be. Wasn't crazy about all his book selections (e.g. A Little Life, The Girl on the Train); he makes a point of saying the books he selected are not necessarily all favorites of his but I have to believe he liked them more than I did. Came across a few more books to add to my to-read list.
