It's a book for who is a book lover and who is a book hater. I enjoyed it so much as a book lover but didn't have much time to read : (

Pat Williams loves to read, and usually has 5 or 6 books going at a time. He passes on his love for reading in this crisp, inspiring book. Williams recommends gathering together a stack of books on subjects that interest you. He encourages you to find a quiet place and a comfortable chair (but not so comfortable where you will fall asleep!), and a good reading lamp.
He talks about the 11 ways reading will transform your life. It will make you an authority on any subject, it will make you a more interesting person to talk with, it will give you wisdom and knowledge to pass on to others, it will keep you mentally sharp (and perhaps ward off Alzheimer's Disease!), and it will take you to places you would otherwise never have the time to visit. You can visit a real place like Hawaii through the James Michener novels, or an imaginary place like Naboo in the Star Wars universe.
Reading will bring you out of the doldrums and inspire you to creative heights.
This book is easy to read, fun to read, and will make you want to read more!
