Notes

Jack Edwards, the “internet’s resident librarian,” shares his book reviews and bookish thoughts on his Substack, Constant Reader. This week, he’s clapping back at bookish snobs. “Perhaps it’s more helpful to think of collecting books like collecting wine: you pick up novels you know you will enjoy at some time in the future. That time might be right now, or it might be next year. Like a bottle of Sancerre, you’ll bring it down off the shelf at the perfect moment, when you’ll enjoy it most. That’s okay, even encouraged, because the pursuit of literature is a deeply personal endeavour: it’s about reading things you want to read, when you want to read them."
