The Possessed: Adventures with Russian Books and the People Who Read Them by Batuman

[Kafka's Crow]

I am reading Elif Batuman's The Possessed: Adventures with Russian Books and the People Who Read Them, a very interesting and personal account of the author's love for the Russian writer's and her life-long obsession with their work and biographies. Have a look, it is very different and shows an almost infectious enthusiasm for her subject:
