Susan Hill will never support e-books, they don’t inhabit your home, they don’t lurk, their smell will give you no Proustian moments and - hard to imagine ever running your finger down your e-book index with quite the same enjoyment and opportunity for happenstance as you find on a crowded book shelf. Her delightful book is a journey through her book shelves and each book, read or unread conjures up memories, a record of a year of reading and rereading only the books to hand and not buying more.

Ex Libris: Confessions of a Common Reader by Anne Fadiman
This is a year of reading from home, by one of Britain's most distinguished authors. Early one autumn afternoon in pursuit of an elusive book on her shelves, Susan Hill encountered dozens of others that she had never read, or forgotten she owned, or wanted to read for a second time. The discovery inspired her to embark on a year-long voyage through her books, forsaking new purchases in order to get to know her own collection again.
