Synopsis
Deciding what to read next when you've just finished an unputdownable novel can be a daunting task. The Bloomsbury Good Reading Guide features hundreds of authors and thousands of titles, with navigation features to lead you on a rich journey through some the best literature to grace our shelves. This greatly expanded edition includes the latest contemporary authors and landmark novels, an expanded non-fiction section, a timeline setting historical events against literary milestones, prize-winner and book club lists. An accessible and easy-to-read guide that no serious book lover should be without. "The essential guide to the wild uncharted world of contemporary and 20th century writing." Robert McCrum, The Observer

Customer Reviews

Could hardly be bettered.
A well-nigh essential guide for anyone wishing to expand his reading horizons. This guide now includes much more than fiction - popular science, history, biography, etc,etc. You'll wonder how you ever managed without it. There is enough information on the chosen authors to make the text an interesting read and it is far more than a series of lists to be skimmed through.
