Choosing What to Read...
One of the most
enjoyable yet frightening aspects of reading is choosing the books.
While it's exciting to consider the options, make your list and winnow
it down to those few select titles that you'll read each year, picking
good books can also be intimidating. You want the perfect book: one
that's not too easy, not too hard, that will hold the interest and
will also inspire a lively imagination. Where on earth do you find
books that are all that and more, and how do you pick which of these
to read?
Probably the best place to start looking for titles is your community
library and local bookstores. Libraries routinely put out lists of
recommended readings and librarian picks. Bookstore clerks are
generally up on what's popular--the bestseller lists and what other
groups in your area may be reading. Lists of award winners and
nominees such as the Pulitzer Prize, the Booker Prize and the National
Book Award can provide your group with many quality suggestions.
Are you looking for something a little different? Outside your normal
reading curve? Try searching the sites we list here for you. Many
publishers specialize in certain types of books, either by genre or
literary style. If you find a book you like, search the publisher's
site for similar titles. Try reading several works by one author or on
the same topic. Or compare two books set in the same time period or
focusing on related topics. Some reading groups even have themes, such
as 19th century literature, science fiction, or women authors.
Choosing your book list should be fun. The better informed you are
about the titles you consider, the less likely you are to pick a dud.
Use these links and to get suggestions and information, make your
list, and then enjoy the best part --- the reading of great books!
