Both a psychological self-help book and a testimonial to reading,
Read For Your Life combines bibliotherapy with an almost encyclopedic
range of popular and scholarly literature. Although by no means an
anthology, this book offers numerous quotations from, as well as
explained allusions to, an astonishing range of books, from
Shakespeare to Stephen King. F.Scott Fitzgerald to Erica Jong, Henry
James to Judy Blume. Read For Your Life is a popular, even a populist
book - energetic, colloquial, anecdotal, confessional and
inspirational. It includes sections on reading for children,
adolescents and the elderly; as well as reading during times of
crisis, such as bereavement, divorce, and aging; reading for women,
for those with disabilities and for racial minorities.
