Book Lust

Recommended Reading for Every Mood, Moment, and Reason

Not sure what to read next? The subtitle of this book says it all. Pearl, Director of the Washington Center for the Book (and model for the recently-released librarian action figure) offers more than 175 creative and often witty lists of recommended fiction and non-fiction from World War I fiction to books featuring Elvis Presley to "Too Good to Miss" authors you may not have heard of. Although heavily weighted to American locations and themes, Pearl does offer international lists, such as "Polish Poems and Prose" and, yes, "Canadian Fiction." I had pen and paper nearby while reading Book Lust and now have suggested titles to keep me reading for months.
