Negative Positive
Title: spell-binder
Review: There isn't much I can add that the previous reviewers haven't already - and very eloquently -- written about this unusual book.As a life-long reader & amasser of books, I knew by the time I reached page 30, I was hooked. The narrator, having lost his memory, returns home from hospital and is led by his wife to a long room crammed with books whose titles he recognizes & begins to examine:"I have so many books. Sorry, we do.""Five thousand here. And there's always some imbecile who comes over and says, my how many books you have, have you read them all?""And what do I say?""Usually you say: Not me, why else would I be keeping them here...As for the five thousand I've already read, I gave them away to prisons and hospitals. And the imbecile reels."At last thanks to Mr Eco, I have a snappy reply for the next person who says to me, what a lot of books you have, have you read them all...
