I've been reading passages from this for months now. I personally love staring at a sentence and reading it out loud a few times not just because I like what I read in terms of facts but also because the language used is wonderful. I also recognize that it can be a little hard to digest at times because while the prose is beautiful it can also make meaning a little bit harder to grasp. I really have no way of summarising this book, therefore I will only say that I recommend it wholeheartedly, especially to readers of the blog. Some phrases can be a little mind-bending and you find yourself reading the same thing 3 times just to make sure you really take in the meaning, but it's worth it. (I wish I had read the ebook just so that I could share my highlights with everyone). I found myself highlighting and marking almost every one of the 500 + pages because the words were just screaming their relevance at me. I've been a fan of the blog for yearsss and I always check for emails that alert me of the next blog post, so much that it's become part of my routine. The whole idea for the book is wonderful really, and I'm not using that word out of some sort of habit but because I mean it. Popova curated facts and ideas from an array of people who are as varied as humanly possible. If you know about or are a reader of then all I have to say is that this book is like a lengthier version of that.
