How to Read a Novel: A User's Guide
$12.95
I agree with other reviewers' complaints about Sutherland offering little concrete advice on precisely "how to read a novel." Sutherland starts off well, acknowledging that "In the past getting books, or access to books, was the problem. Today the problem is staggering out from under the book avalanche" (6). One would expect Sutherland to begin with some tips on selecting a few choice novels to read (depending on one's background, novel-reading aims, and "taste") among the plethora of material out there. He doesn't do this, unfortunately, electing instead to pepper his "guide" with numerous anecdotes about authors, publishers, reviewers, and readers. In this regard, *How to Read a Novel* is decidedly NOT a user-friendly book -- Sutherland leaves unanswered the all-important question of "What do you want to get out of reading a novel?" Other critics, such as Mortimer Adler, Harold Bloom, and Thomas Foster, have tackled precisely this question, and I recommend looking at their guides if you're interested in pursuing a structured course of reading in the Information Age.

Nonetheless, despite the book's insufficiencies as a guide, Sutherland does provide an engaging "insider's" view of the modern book trade, from its origins in the nineteenth century to the digital revolution. This shouldn't be surprising, given that Sutherland is a noted authority in book history studies, and particularly in the study of the Anglo-American publishing industries. If you'd like to learn more about the rise of the modern book-form (hardcover and paperback), the origin of bestseller lists, and the politics of book reviewing and book prize-judging, then *How to Read a Novel* is for you, hands down. Sutherland writes in a breezy, conversational style which some readers (seeking advice) will find horribly imprecise. But for those who wish to learn a bit more about modern book publishing from a learned yet informal perspective, Sutherland will indeed prove to be a useful guide to you.
