"I connect deeply with the ideas in this book . . . The essays are short and simple but reaffirm all the wonderful things about the reading experience." --The Seattle Times

"What sets this book apart is its insistence on reading as a life practice--not a productivity metric or a competitive sport, but a deeply personal ritual. Hwang suggests that to read freely is to resist the pressures of capitalism's constant forward motion." --Summerville Journal Scene

"[A] cozy ode to reading." --Booklist

"[A] good gift for loved ones who live like the cover: happily surrounded by books." --Book Riot, "Best Books to Gift in 2025"

"For any book lover you know . . . these essays are short, charming and relatable." --Orange Country Register

"Hwang offers . . . advice to like-minded souls on how to join her in a life of reading . . . Most every book lover will sense in [her] a kindred spirit, making this volume an essential addition to any collection." --Library Journal

"[An] affable memoir in essays . . . Subjects range from the lighthearted, as when Hwang advises on how to fit snippets of reading time into a busy day, to the profound, as in the essay 'Read Books That Preserve Your Sense of Self, ' in which she considers how to use literature to protect one's individuality in a consumerist age . . . Hwang [makes] an earnest and convincing argument that the best antidote to cynicism is time spent inside someone else's mind . . . Dedicated bibliophiles and casual readers alike will adore this." --Publishers Weekly
