Book Description
Excerpt from Talks, Tales and Public Opinion, Vol. 13: April, 1907 Our visit to the Dead Sea with all its natural curiosities and historic interest was one to be remembered. The Dead Sea is feet below the Mediterranean and is the lowest natural Spot on the face of the earth. We bathed in the Dead Sea. It was very pleasant. The water is bright and clear and so strong and buoyant that you cannot sink in it. A bushy tree grows in this valley, having long spiky thorns, and we were told that the Crown of Thorns was made of branches of a tree similar to this. It is the proper thing in travelling through this country to travel under the protection of an Arab Sheikh. We came across a party of Frenchmen who had neglected this precaution, and in consequence were seriously robbed. Our readers will remem ber that when our party was in Africa, crossing the great desert. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.

Book Description
In this delightfully witty, provocative book, literature professor and psychoanalyst Pierre Bayard argues that not having read a book need not be an impediment to having an interesting conversation about it. (In fact, he says, in certain situations reading the book is the worst thing you could do.) Using examples from such writers as Graham Greene, Oscar Wilde, Montaigne, and Umberto Eco, he describes the varieties of "non-reading"-from books that you've never heard of to books that you've read and forgotten-and offers advice on how to turn a sticky social situation into an occasion for creative brilliance. Practical, funny, and thought-provoking, How to Talk About Books You Haven't Read-which became a favorite of readers everywhere in the hardcover edition-is in the end a love letter to books, offering a whole new perspective on how we read and absorb them.
