![]() ![]() and how come we are doing SF and thrillers, but no horror or fantasy?. I also personally would have re-arranged the genre sections to have a proper non-fiction section. While I often agreed with the authors chosen, I did not always agree with the specific books of these chosen as their "best" works. ![]() It centers around the earth's atmosphere changing and causing people and animals to become smarter literally overnight and is told from the viewpoints of several characters who are affected in different ways. ![]() My best find was a science fiction book called Brain Wave by Poul Anderson. ![]() Many of the pages had photos of authors, which I like, being a collector of black and white postcards of favorite authors such as Toni Morrison, Stephen King, Virginia Wolfe, Ernest Hemingway, etc. I expected to only find lists of books with boring plot summaries, but found the writing to be interesting and the facts shared about various authors was a bonus. In the process I was able to find 12 books to add to my "to read" list - My Left Foot, Che Guevara: A Revolutionary Life, Brain Wave, It, and Unless among others.Īnyone who is interested in the lives of authors will love this book. Several people on Goodreads suggested this as a good reference to find good books and I can see why now after devouring the whole thing in one weekend. I picked this book up in the bargain books area of Borders this past weekend. ![]()
