Review # 1 was written on 2009-05-03 00:00:00 R Jehan I think this book could be improved by being shortened considerably. By the last 1/4 I was really wondering what the point of finishing it would be. I really did enjoy reading a selection of writings about reading...how clever does that sound? While some of them were not so very interesting at all, others were quite fun. This is one of those books, if I owned a copy, would pretty much stay in the bathroom reading stack.

Review # 2 was written on 2020-06-12 00:00:00 Justin Imhof Full of short excerpts drawn from books and essays by people who love books, Bookworms was the perfect waiting room book. Easy to pick up and put down, and always moving from one vignette to another, it asked for your attention in brief little flashes rather than any sustained effort. Though I enjoyed it, it's not one that I will likely return to. Worth a flip though, for anyone who particularly enjoys books about books, but not a necessary addition to your shelves.
