Margo Hammond

An eminently browsable book. About half of the books mentioned I loved; the other half I hated. I nevertheless added a dozen or so books to my wishlist from this book.

I first heard of this book from the St. Petersburg Times, and then at the St. Petersburg Times Festival of Reading where the authors, Margot Hammond and Ellen Heltzel spoke. It's an excellent listing of books, intriguingly arranged. You will want to have your own copy for future reference and to check off all those good books you have read, and the ones you want to read. It added about 100 books to my "to read" list!

An excellent book, this might be a good one to buy, the better to highlight books you'd like to read. One minor complaint would be that the personal sections such as ages and stages and love, sex & second chances, are a bit skewed towards an older and/or traditional audience.
