Thrillers: 100 Must Reads, edited by David Morrell & Hank Wagner (Oceanview Publishing 2010)(809.3872)"examines 100 seminal works of suspense through essays contributed by esteemed modern thriller writers." The book features plot summaries, reviews, and accompanying essays on 100 books "deemed must-reads by the International Thriller Writers Organization." What does it mean? It means I can read the summaries of works ranging from Theseus and the Minotaur to Macbeth through Robinson Crusoe to Deliverance to the Da Vinci Code. NOTE: I STRONGLY COMMEND THE READER TO THE TABLE OF CONTENTS IF AVAILABLE ON THIS WEBSITE. These reviews have directed me to some books I've never thought to read and some others I've never heard of. I've found a few more that I'd like to read as a result. 6/10, finished 3/15/11.
