    For the Love of Books
  

*by L***G on Reviewed in the United States on November 30, 2018*

One fall afternoon, while looking for a book she wanted to read in her extensive collection, Susan Hill discovers other books she purchased but hadn't read, or books she'd even forgotten she'd purchased, along with books she realized she wanted to read again. Hill resolves to buy no new books (except for volumes she needs to read in connection with work) until she plows through her to-be-read and begging-to-be re-read piles.This slim but delightful volume reminds one of her nature volume THE MAGIC APPLE TREE, but with books instead of the countryside, allowing her to review her life with books. She wanders happily from her old "Observer" books on trees and airplanes and how good titles entice you into a literary world and the magic of Dorothy Sayers to Shakespeare, Dickens, and poetry to the joy of finding things in used books to the favorites she turns to along with the strange volumes she's found around the house. Even if you are young and American and recognize few of the titles and authors you cannot but help be caught up in her memories and recollections and obvious affection for certain writers and her books. A delight for any bibliophile.

    A literary memoir
  

*by K***Y on Reviewed in the United States on May 4, 2011*

I have been seeing reviews of this book on blogs and recommendations from friends for a while now and I have been very excited to read this book because of the idea behind the book.  Imagine reading only books that are on your bookshelves for a whole year, what might you discover?  I have to admit that when I started to read this book I found it be a lot different than I had expected.  I thought it would be a journey though the books Hill decides to read during this year and her thoughts and feelings.  I discovered this book to be much different, and I would describe it as a writer's memoir of her reading career.  Hill describes books she discovered as she canvassed her shelves to find something to read and how these books affected her in her life, writing and personal.  If you can get used to the name dropping she does, in my opinion she has had an interesting and exciting literary life from her college days bumping into E.M. Forrester from her adult years interviewing some of the most fascinating authors of the time.  While I might not agree with some of her opinions on books and authors for example, Jane Austen, I found all of her thoughts interesting and vibrant, she infuses them with such depth and humor it is easy to see why she has become such a popular and favorite writer herself.  The only thing I think would have made this book better would be a list of all the books she read during her year of reading from home because she mentions so many it is hard to keep track of what she really read and what she just discovered in her search for a book to read. Though different from what I expected I enjoyed reading this book and I can agree with everyone who suggested reading it, because it provided funny and interesting reading.

    Delightful and engaging
  

*by S***O on Reviewed in the United States on November 5, 2010*

I recommend this book to anyone who has a large home library or has a lifetime of reading memories. If you do, you probably have a score of books that you haven't read. There are also books that you don't remember purchasing.  Finally, you probably have books that you either want to read again or you don't remember reading in the first place.  Well, this book is for you.  Ms. Hill gives the reader an informal tour of her book collection.She connects books with moments in her life.  The book is enchanting and charming. When you finish the book, you will want to revisit you collection, and you will add titles to your must read list.
