An enjoyable read. A book about other writers and books can’t go wrong really for me. I liked Bloom’s writing style and it was a pleasure to meander through Bloom’s clearly erudite knowledge of some of the world’s most exquisite writers and glean from his insights into them. Shakespeare was clearly Bloom's favourite and throughout the book he refers to him again and again by juxtaposing that English legend against all the other writers and only a few could really take any sort of stance against him, understandably so. The book is about a 100 of the world’s greatest writers that ever lived. Bloom, a Jewish geezer, truncated the book into sections which had something to do with the Jewish faith (probably Kabbalistic) and would go on and put groups of his favourite writers into these blocks. The blocks or sections of the books were called things like Keter, Hokmah, Binah etc etc � Overall a really enjoyable book and 4 stars I guess because none of his insights really wowed me that that much. I learnt about a lot of other books and was intrigued to read about some of the writer’s books I had never read but will surely do from now on. :)
