Why do many people underline lines in books and scribble in the margins, while others look with horror at the slightest carelessness? And what secrets keep the shelves of the home library of each of us? Everyone is annoyed by the need to put books on the shelf in two rows, right?
"The Reader on the Couch" is an ironic and funny almanac of reading habits and the deep mechanisms that make our relationship with books almost erotic and at times neurotic.
This book is dedicated to psychotic readers and neurotic readers:
- Those who get homesick if they have to borrow a book, and those who promise themselves not to yawn while reading;
- polyamorous readers who devour several books in parallel, or, conversely, monogamous readers who do not touch a new book until they have finished the one they have started, even through pain and tears;
- those who are ashamed to say that they have not read this or that classic, and those who expose this aspect of their reading biography as part of a rebellious spirit.
