Reading with the Stars: A Celebration of Books and Libraries

This was, once I got into it, really quick and very fun. It made me feel very fond of some people I'd already loved, like Julie Andrews, and some I'd never even thought about, like Kareem Abdul-Jabbar, Laura Bush, Ralph Nader, and Jamie Lee Curtis. And it made me feel guilty for my snobbery regarding Oprah's book club. Few people have done as much for libraries and literacy as she has, and I don't know, I just feel like maybe I need to give those little stickers a chance. Anyway, if you like librarying or reading or celebrities, read this. It's fun.

I'm not reviewing this because most of the essays are just average (and the only 'stars' by strict definition are Julie Andrews and Oprah). A few were ok, but mostly came across as sounding defensive.

Library sale find, so nothing lost.
