Others made me laugh out loud, as when Snider characterizes types of fiction, and “young adult fiction” is tagged as “All references to ‘puberty’ have been replaced with ‘lycanthropy’.” Some of the strips reminded me of Richard Scarry’s packed scenes, such as “ The Story Coaster“, showing how Snider translates literary terminology and structure into visuals. Another, “ Poetic Justice“, uses the images to tell a story as the terms appear. Some of the strips are catalogs, such as “ My Bookshelf“, which includes “the book that saved my life” and “the book I’m desperately trying to write”, or “ Perfect Reading Spots“, which is also a poem. I thought it was a manifesto for the book - which it is - but it’s also the table of contents! The various statements represent the topic sections that follow. I alternated among thinking “how wise”, “how inspiring”, and “how surprising”. Overall, the message is how books can and will change your life. The cartoons are all about being a reader or a writer or both. If you liked You’re All Just Jealous of My Jetpack or Book Love, you’ll love this.
