The collection of Tariel Chanturia’s entries is as original as ever. Starting from the title, the poet maintains the stylistic approach which has long become his personal trademark. The readers are offered observations, impressions and thoughts accumulated throughout his life, reflecting the events and issues of the past and present. Sometimes harsh, unrelenting and debatable, the opinions are invariably lively and involving.  

The author calls the present edition A Reader’s Book because he considers himself to be a good reader, a devoted music lover, a loyal cinema and theatre goer, an ardent chaser of art exhibitions, a dilettante follower of science and a tireless citizen concerned with the fate of his homeland and the entire world.
