Book by Book

Michael Dirda, a Pulitzer-winning critic and longtime columnist for Washington Post Book World shares his love of literature and books in BOOK BY BOOK. This book ignites the passion for classics in me and in my opinion, is an effortless read. In BOOK BY BOOK, Dirda speaks not only of classics but he also covers contemporary works ranging from Cicero to Dr. Seuss.

I had a wonderful time pondering Dirda’s observations and the quotations he lavishes on his readers. Needless to say, my copy of the book is filled with markings and scribblings. He did encourage readers to do the same and perhaps from our own reflections, we create our own reader’s guide as well.
