Gestern Abend habe ich endlich den Literaturkritik-Langeweiler ausgelesen - zum Schluß habe ich mich echt nur noch durchgequält und den Text einfach überflogen. Heute Morgen konnte ich mir dann ein neues Buch aussuchen. Allerdings ist mein Kater vor dem Schrank mit den ungelesenen Büchern gelegen, sodaß ich nur eine kleine Auswahl hatte.
Daher habe ich mich für dieses hier entschieden:
Nancy Pearl
More Book Lust
Product Description: The response to Nancy Pearl's surprise bestseller Book Lust was astounding: the Seattle librarian and winner of the 2004 Women's National Book Award even became the model for the now-famous Librarian Action Figure. Readers everywhere welcomed Pearl's encyclopedic but discerning filter on books worth reading, and her Rule of 50 (give a book 50 pages before deciding whether to continue; but readers over 50 must read the same number of pages as their age) became a standard MO.
Once again organized by topic, this sprightly follow-up includes an array of titles in nearly 150 eclectic categories, including Plots for Plotzing (highly unusual storylines), Animal Love (in which humans fall in love with animals), The Autobiographical Gesture (memoirs about complex lives), Child Prodigies (child characters who are called on to perform great and sometimes heroic acts), Nagging Mothers, Crying Children (true tales from the frontlines of parenting), and Libraries and Librarians. Both a valuable reference and a vastly enjoyable read, More Book Lust offers a wealth of enthusiastic, quirky reading recommendations.
