In the company of books -- How the book is organized -- A-Z -- Acknowledgements -- A miscellany of special lists -- General index -- 1,000 books checklists -- Permissions -- Photo credits.
Encompassing fiction, poetry, science and science fiction, memoir, travel writing, biography, children's books, history, and more, 1,000 Books to Read Before You Die moves across cultures and through time to present an eclectic collection of titles, each described with the special enthusiasm readers summon when recommending a book to a friend.
Mustich provides brief (usually one page) introductions to works of fiction, poetry, science and science fiction, memoir, travel writing, biography, children's books, history, and more. Ranging across cultures and through time, this eclectic collection of works is not a proscriptive list of the 'great works' but a celebration of the glorious mosaic that is our literary heritage. Arranged alphabetically by author, the list is a life-changing list for a lifetime of reading. -- Adapted from jacket

Heavy Reading submitted by sara on August 15, 2020, 1:05pm It does make sense that it would take almost 1000 pages to recommend 1000 books. From Dante's Divine Comedy to The Hunger Games- everyone can find books they will like in this book. Fun to browse through with interesting entries.
