A quick walk through any bookstore reveals one obvious truth: there are more books than anyone can read in a lifetime. With so many books, articles, and Web sites vying for our attention, we must choose wisely. But what does that actually look like? In Writers to Read, Douglas Wilson—someone who’s spent a career writing, reading, and teaching others to do the same—introduces readers to nine great authors whose work deserves to be read. Whether it’s G. K. Chesterton, C. S. Lewis, or Robert Capon, the well-known and less-known authors Wilson examines are all masters of creative writing and worthy of study and enjoyment. Those looking to become better writers or better readers will find this book to be an invaluable guide for wisely selecting their literary mentors.
