Why do many people underline lines in books and scribble in the margins, while others look in horror at the slightest carelessness? And what secrets do the shelves of each of our home libraries hold? After all, everyone is annoyed by the need to place books on the shelf in two rows. "The Reader on the Couch" is an ironic and amusing almanac of reading habits and the deep mechanisms that make our relationship with books almost erotic and sometimes neurotic. This book is dedicated to psychotic readers and neurotic readers: those who feel melancholy when they have to borrow a book, and those who promise themselves not to yawn while reading; polyamorous readers who consume several books simultaneously, or, conversely, monogamous readers who do not touch a new book until they finish the one they started, even through pain and tears; those who are ashamed to admit they haven't read a certain classic, and those who present this aspect of their reading biography as a part of their rebellious spirit.
