In this brilliant collection, the follow-up to her New York Times best seller Reading Like a Writer, the distinguished novelist, literary critic, and essayist celebrates the pleasures of reading and pays homage to the works and writers she admires above all others. In an age defined by hyper-connectivity and constant stimulation, Francine Prose makes a compelling case for the solitary act of reading and the great enjoyment it brings. Inspiring and illuminating, What to Read and Why includes selections culled from Prose’s previous essays, reviews, and introductions.

I love the book, but the narration was annoying
Reviewed: 08-18-21
I really did not like the accents and found them distracting from an otherwise really interesting book. I have read other of Prose's books (and audio books) and this is the only one with the accents....I don't know why they needed to be done.
