"A playful celebrant of literary proliferation."

"Reading liberates the reader and transports him from his book to a reading of himself and all of life."
--from So Many Books

Join the conversation! In So Many Books, Gabriel Zaid offers his observations on the literary condition: a highly original analysis of the predicament that readers, authors, publishers, booksellers, librarians, and teachers find themselves in today--when there are simply more books than any of us can contemplate. This second addition includes a new introduction by Robin Sloane.
