|genre=Home and FamilyReference|summary=Not a book about how to read but about how to read ''well'' - how to chose wisely not and not be propelled into buying books you won't enjoy. Time invested in this book will be repaid in every book you read in the future.
Books are my passion and my business so it's hardly surprising that I started ''How to Read a Novel - A User's Guide'' as soon as I removed it from the packaging. Ten minutes later I was still reading and hadn't even thought that it might be easier if I sat down.
For another book about books you might like to try [[Ex Libris]] by Anne Fadiman.
