Imagine a library with 1,000 books to represent a lifetime’s reading, with something for every age, interest, and reading appetite. From Margaret Wise Brown’s Goodnight Moon to C. S. Lewis’s A Grief Observed, from The Divine Comedy to The Hitchhiker’s Guide to the Galaxy, from fiction to history, mythology to mysteries, this inspiring volume is a browser’s delight.
Written by a veteran bookseller with a knack for helping people discover what to read next, it’s nearly a thousand pages of erudition and enthusiasm in one altogether remarkable book.
