Any avid reader will understand the joy of finding an 'unputdownable' book, and will have asked themselves the question 'What next?' With 100,000 new books published each year in addition to the enormous wealth of literature already in print this can be a difficult question to answer. The Bloomsbury Good Reading Guide opens up the full spectrum of books, both time-honoured and contemporary, from Atwood to Zola, through Chatwin, Huxley, and Swift.At the end of each entry, a 'Read On' section directs readers to similar works by other authors. For the most influential works of literature, 'Pathways' lead readers to books with similar themes. For those new to English literature, there are 'Startpoints' for reading around nine main genres, including Biography, Crime, Science Fiction and Fantasy, and Travel.
