Joe Queenan is the author of nine books and writes the "Moving Targets" column for the Wall Street Journal. He lives in Tarrytown, New York.
"[Queenan's] passion for reading is infectious ... It's so rare to
hear such a heartfelt defense of books - it's one of the most
original works we read this year."
~New York Daily News (Best books of 2012)
"A celebration of literature, reading and the call of books from a
stylish humorist who has a soft spot for Georges Simenon and a hard
time with trendiness and 'astonishing' reviews."
~Kansas City Star (Top 100 books of 2012)
"A passionate, at times hilarious, account of a life spent reading
and rereading."
~Minneapolis Star Tribune
"Queenan's goal isn't just to declare his love for books and to
list particular books that he loves, but to suss out the customs of
book lovers: to analyze what books mean to his friends and
acquaintances (not to mention a few enemies), and how books forge
or destroy friendships."
~Leah Price, San Francisco Chronicle
