Synopsis
Read any good books lately?

Authors Les Krantz and Tim Knight have and they tell you about the best ones. Encompassing everything from classics to pulp yarns to celebrity tell-alls, The Book of Books is a treasure trove of reading recommendations and fascinating facts about books that you will be able to find on store shelves, not just in musty library stacks. Whether you're looking for great adventure stories, novels, history books, illustrated gift books, or gripping memoirs and biographies, you'll find detailed lists of must-reads in every literary genre. You'll also enjoy scores of excerpts from noteworthy books and poems, past and present, that accompany many of the reading recommendations. You'll also be fascinated by the wealth of inside information about the literary world that even most devotees of serious literature don't know about. For example, did you know that Mark Twain cheerfully perpetrated one of the most sensational literary hoaxes in nineteenth century America? That Fyodor Dostoevsky, Niccolo Machiavelli, and Ezra Pound all spent time in prison? And that Toni Morrison's Beloved was recently named the greatest American novel of the last twenty-five years?

No matter what you are interested in reading, The Book of Books will be a wonderful resource and a valuable addition to your personal library.
