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.
