Read for Your Life: 11 Ways to Transform Your Life with Books by Pat Williams with Peggy Matthews Rose is a passionate look at reading, why it’s important, and what to do about the lack of it in today’s America. If you don’t love reading, this book may change your mind. If you do love reading, this book will strike a chord with you.
The first couple of chapters drag a bit as it discusses the statistics of illiteracy. It tries very hard to make the case that there is too much illiteracy in America and that we should do something about it. The rest of the book is dedicated more to reading – improving your own, inspiring others to do so, what to read, how to read, and many other things. It really is a very well written book, other than the dragging problem. But, even the dragging wasn’t quite enough to turn me off to the book entirely. Trust me, if you start to read this book, continue. It is worth it.
