I Will Judge You by Your Bookshelf

New York Times writer Grant Snyder  has given us a humorous glimpse at those of us who are addicted to books. The bright colors used in his illustrations further enhance the light feel of the book. I could not stop laughing throughout this graphic novel and had to read it twice consecutively because I didn't want to forget any of his comedic jabs at readaholics. On my third time reading, I took notes to assist me in writing this review. 

Poetry and the writing experience are prominent themes. At times I felt that I was reading a Dr. Seus book as his rhyming words sounded silly.

May your future be dystopian

May your myths be true

May your fairy tales be grisly

May your poems be haiku

May your self-help be helpful

May your heroes be tragic

May your quests be epic

May your realism be magic.

Comic strips on books taking over your home, what to do with  unfinished books, organization of your books, and issues about writing are all included along with information on several genres.  This is a silly book that will make you smile.  I have now read the book 4 times since I purchased it one week ago and highly recommend it.  5 out of 5 stars.
