Nicely presented, chapters on different genres. ( )

I love going back to this book when I am at a loss as to what to read next, or to just see how my list compares to that one. I don't know if everyone will ever feel the same about all the books on a "must read list" but they can sure be fun sometimes. The only section I think I will fail on, is the travel, but who knows, I can always try.

This is a great coffee table book, and I get lots of comments about my "book about books". ( )

Awesome informational guide. Similar to 1001 Books to Read Before You Die. I like the way it is broken out into genres rather than years. A must read for any bibliophile. ( )

This book will be on my currently reading list for years if not decades. I am using it shop for books I have never heard of and to revisit ones that I haven't read for years to find something new in them. I highly recommend this well thought out book and do as I did...make a copy of the inside covers to carry with you whenever you go out just in case.
Inside you will find an organized listing of genres that you can brouse easily by genres or from front to rear or even alphabetically. I like picking it up just to flip through on slow weekends or next to the pool or to plan a book outing to used and/or new bookshops in the area.
As an added bonus and to make sure I don't get lazy in my search for interesting books I look to the left, right above and below the searched for book to see if there are any that catch my attention and expend my book menu. ( )

This is another book to help you choose which books to read. This one is made for adults and it offers a lot of different categories, there is a kids category for some classics but don't bother with this one unless the kids your picking books for are 10 and up. ( )
