What would this reading trajectory say about you? With passion, humor, and insight, the editor of \u003ci\u003eThe New York Times Book Review\u003c\/i\u003e shares the stories that have shaped her life. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003ePamela Paul has kept a single book by her side for twenty-eight years - carried throughout high school and college, hauled from Paris to London to Thailand, from job to job, safely packed away and then carefully removed from apartment to house to its current perch on a shelf over her desk - reliable if frayed, anonymous-looking yet deeply personal. This book has a name: Bob. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eBob is Paul's Book of Books, a journal that records every book she's ever read, from \u003ci\u003eSweet Valley High\u003c\/i\u003e to \u003ci\u003eAnna Karenina\u003c\/i\u003e, from \u003ci\u003eCatch-22\u003c\/i\u003e to \u003ci\u003eSwimming to Cambodia\u003c\/i\u003e, a journey in reading that reflects her inner life - her fantasies and hopes, her mistakes and missteps, her dreams and her ideas, both half-baked and wholehearted. Her life, in turn, influences the books she chooses, whether for solace or escape, information or sheer entertainment. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eBut \u003ci\u003eMy Life with Bob\u003c\/i\u003e isn't really about those books. It's about the deep and powerful relationship between book and reader. It's about the way books provide each of us the perspective, courage, companionship, and imperfect self-knowledge to forge our own path. It's about why we read what we read and how those choices make us who we are. It's about how we make our own stories.\u003ch3\u003eAuthor Biography\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003ePamela Paul\u003c\/b\u003e is the editor of The New York Times Book Review and oversees books coverage at The New York Times.
