"A playful celebrant of literary proliferation."
--New Yorker (on the first edition)

"Lively, cosmopolitan, and piquant, Zaid's treatise will engage every serious reader."
--Booklist (on the first edition)

"Reading liberates the reader and transports him from his book to a reading of himself and all of life."
--from So Many Books

Join the conversation! In So Many Books, Gabriel Zaid offers his observations on the literary condition: a highly original analysis of the predicament that readers, authors, publishers, booksellers, librarians, and teachers find themselves in today--when there are simply more books than any of us can contemplate. Translated from the Spanish by Natasha Wimmer, this second edition includes a new introduction by Robin Sloan and illustrations by Grant Silverstein.
