I just spent a great afternoon reading Remarkable Books, and the book is, well, remarkable. It's great fun to read other people's sharing theirpassions, even if, like Doris Betts, the passion is negative. Or reading Peder Zane remembering how, as a college student, he fell in love with Freud because Freud was hip. Or Lee K. Abbott falling in love with the language of Absalom, Absalom! though the he was daunted by the book and didn't finish it till forty years after he started it. Remarkable!The book is just a great read.
