What's next?

How do you decide what to read next? Do you check out bestseller lists? Pulitzer Prize or Man Booker Prize winners? Read book reviews? Get recommendations from friends? Wander among the library shelves or meander through a bookstore?

Here’s another option: 501 Must-Read Books. This 544-page paperback, first published in England in 2006 by Bounty Books, is divided into eight sections: children’s fiction, classic fiction, history, memoirs, modern fiction, science fiction, thrillers, and travel. It is intelligently written and beautifully designed with wonderful photos and art work.

As the introduction states, "This comprehensive guide will inspire you to read more widely than you could have imagined." You won’t be able to put it down! You’ll grab a pencil and start making your list.

And it’s inexpensive. Amazon.com sells the hardcover for $14.99 but you can find the paperback version for much less.
