About This Item
London: John Murray, 2020: 9781529337211. Hardback. Fine/Fine. First edition. Second printing. Number 2. Like new. No annotations or inscriptions. DW is not price-clipped. 332 pages + xv pages.. 8.66 x 5.51 x 1.26 inches. In this diary, which he kept throughout 2019, Stig Abell introduces and reflects on the books that he read during his 50-minute commute to work as editor of the Times Literary Supplement. To broaden his horizons, he selected a different genre each month and worked through an eclectic reading list, For a whole year on his train to work, Stig Abell read books from across genres and time periods. Then he wrote about them, and their impact on our culture and his own life. The result is a work of many things: a brisk guide to the canon of Western literature; an intimate engagement with writers from Shakespeare to JK Rowling, Marcel Proust to Zora Neale Hurston; a wise and funny celebration of the power of words; and a meditation on mental unrest and how to tackle it. It.. It will help you discover new books to love, give you the confidence to give up on those that you don't, and remind you of ones that you already do. .
