In all its length and quantity of authors there's also an unfortunate lack of qualitative reviews. Book reviews might average a couple sentences plus one short snippet of a review from the Times or Christian Science Monitor. The selection of authors seems a bit arbitrary, as are the suggested reading lists. All in all I think my time would've been more effectively spent browsing this website. aucune critique | ajouter une critique
Perfect for reading groups and all book lovers Here, at last, is the book to which the more than a quarter-million reading groups and book clubs in this country can turn for the answer to that pressing question: What should we read next? The Reading List illuminates the work of current novelists who have captured the imagination of the modern reader. Each entry includes critical commentary on the author's published fiction by prominent reviewers, as well as thematic and plot synopses, and a short biography. The Reading List features a broad spectrum of writers from our shores and abroad whose works are available in English. Stylistically, the authors run the gamut from Cormac McCarthy to Cristina Garcia, from Naguib Mahfouz to Barbara Kingsolver, from Jane Smiley to Salman Rushdie. Now reading groups and independent bookworms alike have a comprehensive, discriminating resource to guide them through their next literary foray. Aucune description trouvée dans une bibliothèque |

So more hits than misses, enough I'd read more of the authors listed. And I think the above indicates that whatever your tastes, though no doubt you'll turn up your noses as some of the authors here (no doubt including some of my favorites) you'll find a lot to love if you like literary fiction. That's why I'm keeping it on my bookshelves. Although truth to tell, I probably wouldn't buy it now--there are just too many such lists on the internet you can access about as rich, and it doesn't give you much value added beyond that list. ( )
