Is pic related worth reading? Is it aimed at one who has read

The authors he talks about are excellent.

Lit has this bizarre desire to read every single book from cover to cover, where many books are merely utilitarian in their purpose. This is one of those books. You pick it up, read the parts that interest you, skip the rest. Come back later to read the parts that didn't interest you because you are at a different stage of your life in regards to literature. It is a good book to get you excited to read a certain author, or to see some interesting commentary on an author. That's about it really.

I enjoyed the part about Chaucer.
Also Bloom introduced me to Pessoa in this book before I started seeing him mentioned on /lit/
