Enjoyable to dip in and out of, and to get some insights into well-known authors' reading/writing inspiration. Very nice to read some talking about my favourite books, and I picked up some very good-sounding suggestions from authors I like/have read as well as some I hadn't! A book about reading is always a comfort and it helps that this book has a lovely cover and format (ribbon!) too.
