I'm late posting my #bookspin stack but looks like the picks are #9 (the tagged book) and ZZ Packer's Drinking Coffee Elsewhere (#8) that I had already picked as my #rememberingjenny read based on her 5 ⭐ review.

so-soWell it wasn‘t my favorite book and I probably won‘t re-read it. 😊 I thought it would be a light volume about the joy of re-reading and the different things you find in books when you pick them up at different times. There was some of that (very little) but mostly it‘s a heavy lit crit book talking about heavy 19th century classic books (and some 20th). Not what I was in the mood for. Total “meh” for me.
“Like most readers, I sometimes think I was born reading. I can‘t remember the time when I didn‘t have a book in my hands, my head lost to the world around me.” Vivian Gornick, Unfinished Business : Notes of a Chronic Re-reader, p.3 #morningreading
Book purchased in January at Joseph Fox Bookshop, a wonderful bookstore in Philadelphia
Essay writer extraordinaire Vivian Gornick her essays are always fascinating.Her latest book about her love of books .Really thrilled to get these three book of essays can‘t wait to start reading Thanks FSG for these wonderful books.
pickI am , undoubtedly, a Gornick super fan! Her latest has something to tell us all , the great books that meant a lot to you,may have more to say to you now than when you originally read them.The eyes of experience can be different from the eyes of wonder.Her powers of observation & the weaving of the love of literature in her daily life made for a wonderful read.Nice edition from a feminist & a gifted essayist.
