Overview
Acclaimed literary critic and professor Harold Bloom offers an impassioned book on the pleasures and benefits of reading well. He begins by asking, "Information is endlessly available to us; where shall wisdom be found?" At a time when faster and easier electronic media threatens to eclipse the practice of reading, Bloom draws on his experience as critic, teacher, and prolific reader to plumb the great books for their sustaining wisdom. Shedding all polemic, he addresses the solitary reader, who, he urges, should read for the purest of all reasons: to discover and augment the self. Bloom's ultimate faith in the restorative power of literature resonates on every page of this infinitely rewarding and important book. "Extraordinarily wise, nourishing, and beautiful."
