Full of short excerpts drawn from books and essays by people who love books, Bookworms was the perfect waiting room book. Easy to pick up and put down, and always moving from one vignette to another, it asked for your attention in brief little flashes rather than any sustained effort. Though I enjoyed it, it's not one that I will likely return to. Worth a flip though, for anyone who particularly enjoys books about books, but not a necessary addition to your shelves.
