  <default-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 &lt;i&gt;What If All (name the city) Read the Same Book&lt;/i&gt; 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.</default-description>

    <body><![CDATA[A collection of themed book recommendation lists. I haven't really had the chance, yet, to see how good the recs are, though they seem interesting, and the book makes for a great resource if you're looking to catch up on a genre your background is lacking in.

    <body><![CDATA[I revisited the recommendations offering of Nancy Pearl Book Lust to see how much I had read in the last four years since I got the book. This is the kind of book I write in. I don't write in books unless it's a book that recs others books.

    <body><![CDATA[I LOVE this book and refer to it constantly!  Written by the former head librarian of the Seattle Public Library, Nancy Pearl gives you favorite books, by category, which I think is great!!  She also gives books in a series, but I so love!  Every reader should have a copy of this!]]></body>

    <body><![CDATA[I read this a number of years ago, when I wanted to expand my literary and knowledge background.  I was very tired of 5th grade level books from the 'best sellers' lists.  Awesome reference book to lead one to great books to read, some of which are 'off the beaten track' in society.]]></body>

For instance, there is an extremely small and limited section for children and young adult books.  On the other hand, I quite enjoyed it, it gave me some new ideas, a...<a href="http://www.goodreads.com/review/show/40204790">more...</a>]]></body>
