( ) So far, I'm not sure this will be a good read but I guess I'll plug along & see. Well, I've finished it. It seemed to me that the authors didn't like a lot of the books they "reviewed" and I wasn't able to draw from it whether I would want to read many of the books or not. I did come up with a list of books I would like to at least try, though. I wasn't sure sometimes whether they were joking or serious. There of course were genre I wasn't interested in but I read it anyway to see if there was anything I might want to read. Can't say it was my favorite book, but found some useful information. There are plenty of suggestions here, some of them obscure enough to be intriguing. The authors had an excellent idea—somewhat like Nancy Pearl’s books, where reading one thing leads you to another, and then two more, and so on.

The questions range from profound to ridiculous, sometimes changing from one to the other within the same question. Then there are hundreds of other brief recommendations.
