A Bit Bookish

Tolstoy and the Purple Chair: My Year of Magical Reading by Nina Sankovitch
My rating: 3 of 5 stars

This was an interesting book. The author wrote it after the death of her sister, to help her find joy and healing. She read a book a day for one year. I was aware of many of the books she read, but some of the others were new to me and I loved how she tied them into her family dynamics and filtered them through her own thought processes. There were some excellent quotes, very thoughtful and intense. There is also a list of all the books she read at the end so you could follow up on those that appealed to you.
