I'd Rather Be Reading by Guinevere De La Mare
5.0
I'm not positive that finishing this book constitutes "reading" a book. I can easily claim that it this book belongs on my favorite books shelf (and I need to purchase a copy of my own!). This compilation of only a few short essays about reading sprinkled among poetry and contemporary art honoring the love of books and reading is a delightful tribute to the love of books that many of us share!
I'm particularly inspired by "A Slow Books Manifesto" by Maura Kelly. Kelly highlights that taking time to read quality literature builds empathy and character, both characteristics that build stronger people, communities, and eventually cultures. I've not jumped on board the slow movement in many ways, but this might be one I'm fully behind!
