Bloomsbury Good Reading Guide

This revised and updated guide to good reading provides a new rating system: "Startpoints", which offer suggestions in different areas of reading; and "Pathways", which lead from a dozen popular books to whole shelves of follow-up reading. The book includes new symbols for "highly recommended" and "masterpiece"; these offer a helpful, at times controversial, guide through the available wide selection of reading material. Kenneth McLeish is the author of "Read a Book a Week", "Myth", "Companion to the Arts in the Twentieth Century" and "Bloomsbury Guide to Human Thought".
