Tired of books you can’t get into? Here’s the cure. You’ll never start a fiction or nonfiction book you won’t love. It’s continuously updated too, and updates are free.
FICTION & NONFICTION: Yes, both. Recommended books include not just the must-read books and critics’ favorites, but lesser-known good books from book club recommendations to Pulitzer Prize winning nonfiction. The selections go beyond just the popular standards; they are the standouts among contemporary books as well as time-tested classics including the best fiction picks of 125 top authors and the most compelling true-life adventures.
OUR CRITERIA
FICTION: Big sales are not the only gauge of worth, though our reading recommendations don’t ignore the bestsellers either; rather we look for authors with a knack for story-telling as well as those that have perfected a particular writing style. (See “Perfect Fiction” below.)
NONFICTION: We strive to steer you to books by the latest, most respected authorities. Recommended books are by the foremost experts in their fields, including Pulitzer and Nobel Prize winners. In some instances we call upon outside experts to make our picks too. For example, Sports Illustrated picks the best sports books; Fortune magazine chooses the best business books. In the case of biographies and memoirs, we recommend only the best ones on a particular individual, since there are so many out there on the same person. Here, you’ll find only the best biographies and memoirs, the best written ones that tell the whole story.
PERFECT FICTION is not just every great novelist’s goal; it was also the goal in selecting inclusions in this extraordinarily thorough guide to books. An experienced team of literary professionals chose works that meet three important criteria found in only the best fiction:
1. A story so good you don’t want it to end
2. Unforgettable characters
3. Writing that hooks you on the first page
THE CONVENIENCE IS WORTH A FORTUNE
