Book Lust
ByPublisher Description
What to read next is every book lover's greatest dilemma. Nancy Pearl comes to the rescue with this wide-ranging and fun guide to the best reading new and old. Pearl, who inspired legions of litterateurs with "What If All (name the city) Read the Same Book," has devised reading lists that cater to every mood, occasion, and personality. These annotated lists cover such topics as mother-daughter relationships, science for nonscientists, mysteries of all stripes, African-American fiction from a female point of view, must-reads for kids, books on bicycling, "chick-lit," and many more. Pearl's enthusiasm and taste shine throughout.

“If you are ever stuck for ideas for books to read, this is your book. Nancy Pearl, perhaps the most famous librarian of our time, organizes a list of countless favorite books into chapters which each deal with a particular genre, subject, or author (she subtitles her author chapters “Too Good to Miss”. They’re favorite authors of hers that are often overlooked.)
I am in awe of the number of books she has read and enjoyed. So many books are described and listed that for some of us, it would take lifetimes to read them all. (I’m one of those people. I read slowly, albeit almost constantly).
I read this book on Kindle, but now I want to own a physical copy. It’s a treasure house to have on your shelf, to pick up whenever you need to find your next book.
Note: this book came out in 2003, so the recommendations end there.”
