Product Description:
What to read next is every book lover's greatest dilemma. Nancy Pearl comes to the rescue with this wide-ranging and fun guide to the best reading new and old. Pearl, who inspired legions of litterateurs with “What If All (name the city) Read the Same Book,” has devised 170 thematic reading lists that cater to every mood, occasion, and personality. These annotated lists cover such topics as mother-daughter relationships, science for nonscientists, mysteries of all stripes, African-American fiction from a female point of view, must-reads for kids, books on bicycling, “chick-lit,” and many more. Pearl's enthusiasm and taste shine throughout in this lively and informative illustrated guide.

While I didn't read this book in its entirety, I did skim the whole thing, focusing on certain sections that caught my interest, and found it quite delightful. Of course, I'm a sucker for book lists and books about books, so Book Lust was right up my alley. I loved highlighting book titles I had already read and exploring genres and topics I was most interested in. I came a way with quite a few books to add to my wish list. It is a great reference for any bibliophile who would like to explore ... Read More

I have to say I was disappointed by this book and would not have bought it if I had opened it up and read some pages in a bookstore. Sure this book covers many books for different moods, and there it does well in its choices. I won't even argue with the choices. However, I expected more then two or three sentence descriptions of the titles mentioned, and at least some plot info. For instance it referenced The Godfather in the Italian American writer section. This is the sentence on it,

This is a unique type of "book review" list as the author categorizes books under unorthodox headings (such as "armchair travel", "first lines to remember", "boys coming of age", etc.) I enjoy this guide as a read in itself. She devotes a paragraph or so to a title, or author and has sections on one author titled "too good to miss". Her taste is not exactly mine as she tends toward the romantic and mystery genres and, it is my opinion, disregards more serious classic writing. For example, I really ... Read More

Like any avid reader, I am always curious about the books others are reading. The patients who come to the office where I practice my profession of nursing often come bearing a book suggestion or the book itself. The word is out... I am a voracious reader! This being said, is it any wonder that when I happened upon Nancy Pearl's Book Lust: Recommended Reading for Every Mood, Moment and Reason, I could hardly contain myself?
Pearl, a librarian, author and NPR regular, has compiled an impressive ... Read More

I love BOOK LUST and MORE BOOK LUST. Let's just get that out of the way.
Pearl gathered together a fantastic reference book filled with over 1000 titles by specific categories for every mood: Arctic adventure, Armchair Travel, Fantasy by the truckload, Gay/Lesbian Literature, For the Cat Lover and so on.
Books on almost every country (and every state in her follow up "More Book Lust"). Fiction and nonfiction abound. My bounty grew and Pearl lead me to some great treasures, including ... Read More
