Why read it?

1 author picked The Small Pleasures Of Life as one of their favorite books. Why do they recommend it?

This is an excellent series of essays on the small things in life which please the author. Some are more obvious than others, but all are described stylishly and with typical French humour and elegance. I confess that after reading it, I did my own—inevitably inferiorversion. But it was an enjoyment just going through the process.

From Richard's list on which you may have never heard anything.
