How to Talk About Books You Haven’t Read by Pierre Bayard

Surprise! This book won’t actually teach you how to talk about books you haven’t read, but rather, it’ll teach you a certain way of thinking about books. I first saw it mentioned by @mattthomas— he tweeted a while back that this was the book that helped him most with his PhD work, so I bought it for my wife the PhD candidate, and then finally read it myself.

Found this link via Maria Popova’s BrainPickings. And just as I add this book to my GoodReads ‘To Read’ list, I found another book: How to Really Talk about Books You Haven’t Read by Henry Hitchings.

Go figure. :/
