In this vein, I would unequivocally recommend How to Talk about Books You Haven't Read. Also, I’d recommend a book which seems self-nullifying, How to Read a Book. > Bayard's most popular book, How to Talk about Books You Haven't Read (Minuit, 2007), is a bestseller in France in which he engages in a study of the different ways of not reading a book, and recommends solutions to be able to talk about it anyway. Assuming that some readers have a terrifying understanding of reading, he tries to make them feel free from guilt for not having read canonical literature. The essential thing in culture being to have an overview, he claims the possibility of having a perforated and incomplete culture. Pierre Bayard has renewed this system in Comment parler des lieux où l'on n'a pas été, a work in the second degree again, in which he reviews the authors who have spoken of places they have not visited. > Moreover, humour is a fundamental element of his writing. In How to Talk about Books You Haven't Read, the narrator teaches the way not to read, which is a joke because he himself is a great reader. For Pierre Bayard, humour has an analytical function. It allows you to mark a gap between yourself and yourself, and therefore to distance yourself from what you read. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pierre_Bayard https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pierre_Bayard https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/How_to_Read_a_Book https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/How_to_Read_a_Book
