Former New York Times book critic Kakutani delivers an ebullient celebration of books and reading. She comes up with an eclectic list of titles that have shaped her life, including classics (Shakespeare, Frankenstein, Moby-Dick), biography and memoir . . . and contemporary fiction (Zadie Smith's White Teeth, Donna Tartt's The Goldfinch, Chimamanda Ngozi Adichie's Americanah). Each selection is accompanied by a brief, elegant essay explaining her connection to the work. . . . Kakutani's recommendations and her 'sense of the shared joys and losses of human experience' are revelations. --Publishers Weekly (starred review)
