Is reading the key to a satisfied soul? Joseph
Gold thinks so, and he brings his theory to the printed
page in Read for Your Life: Literature as a Life
Support System. Gold combines psychological self-help
with a testimonial to literature in this energetic, colloquial,
anecdotal and confessional guide. Read for Your
Life features numerous quotations from an astonishing
range of books, from English classics to contemporary thrillers and
romances. Gold also includes sections on reading
for children, adolescents and the elderly.
