TAKE THE LUCK OUT OF FINDING THAT “GREAT READ”
Common to readers of both fiction and nonfiction is the rarity of finding that elusive “great read” that keeps you spellbound for hours. Be it fiction or nonfiction, luck usually plays a role in finding that extraordinary work. Now you can take the luck out of finding the best novels and nonfiction with this continuously updated book guide, which is crafted to steer you to ones that “hit the mark” every time.
It covers 116 literary genres—in fiction and nonfiction—with a range as broad as American history and time travel to self-help and zombies. Selections include not only the classics and the best sellers, but also lesser known genre fiction and the leading nonfiction penned by the top authors in almost every major field.
FICTION and NONFICTION
There are two general categories among our recommended reading: nonfiction and fiction, which are covered in this book reference with over 100,000-words of informative text. (Please see the sample pages found in the “Look Inside” feature on our Amazon page for a list of the over 100 fiction and nonfiction genres, encompassing over 1,000 titles.)
NONFICTION: There is a reason that so much of the suggested readings in this category are either best-selling works or the “classical treatments” of a particular subject: the marketplace and the experts are notorious for picking the leading volumes in the information world. It is, after all, the foremost professionals in the field that usually write them, and buy them. They usually possess some special knowledge in choosing the most reliable information sources in their areas of expertise, which means you have one of the most respected voices in each nonfiction genre we cover.
FICTION: Big sales are not the only gauge of worth, though our reading recommendations don’t ignore the best-selling works either; rather we look for authors with a knack for story-telling as well as those that have perfected a particular writing style.
PERFECT FICTION is not just every great novelist’s goal; it was also the goal in selecting inclusions in this guidebook to books. An experienced team of literary professionals chose works that meet three important criteria found in only the top novels:
1. A story so good you don’t want it to end
2. Unforgettable characters
3. Writing that hooks you in the first paragraph
