One for the Books<br />
Joe Queenan<br />
In Closing Time, Joe Queenan shared how he became a voracious<br />
reader to escape a joyless childhood. Now, like many bibliophiles,<br />
he fears for the books that once saved him. In One for the Books,<br />
Queenan examines the entire culture of reading and what books<br />
really mean in people’s lives today. What does it suggest if a person<br />
has no books displayed in his living room? Can an obsession<br />
with reading prove detrimental to one’s well being? How useful<br />
are covers in selling books? Queenan’s many fans—as well as<br />
anyone who loves books and reading—will want to join him on his<br />
unforgettably funny and moving journey.<br />
n Named one of the best books of the year by the<br />
New York Daily News and the Kansas City Star<br />
n Joe Queenan’s previous book, Closing Time, was a<br />
New York Times bestseller<br />
n Queenan has been a guest on The Late Show with<br />
David Letterman; The Daily Show; Today;<br />
Good Morning, America; Charlie Rose; and<br />
Late Night with Conan O’Brien<br />
Joe Queenan is the author of nine books and writes<br />
the “Moving Targets” column for the Wall Street Journal.<br />
He lives in Tarrytown, New York.<br />
