DESCRIPTION
When we spend so much of our time immersed in books, who's to say where reading ends and living begins? The two are impossibly and gloriously wedded, as Hill shows in Jacob's Room Is Full of Books . Considering everything from Edith Wharton's novels through to Alan Bennett's diaries, Virginia Woolf and the writings of twelfth century monk Aelred of Rievaulx, Susan Hill charts a year of her life through the books she has read, reread or returned to the shelf. From beneath a shady tree in a hot French summer, or the warmth of a kitchen during an English winter, Hill reflects on what her reading throws up, from writing and writers to politics and religion, as well as the joy of dandies or the pleasure of watching a line of geese cross a meadow. Full of wry observations and warm humour, as well as strong opinions freely aired, this is a rare and wonderful insight into the rich world of reading from one of the nation's most accomplished authors.

I am reading "Jacob's Room is Full of Books" right now and really enjoying it, as I did Hill's "Howard's End is on the Landing." I love these two non-fiction books and getting a lot of suggestions of old classics to read that somehow I missed. Hill's ghost stories are fabulous. Everyone knows "The Woman in Black" which is very creepy, but I was super creeped out (but it's not horror) over "The Man in the Picture." If you like creepy but not horror, then Hill's the author for you.
