Check these out One librarian's catalog of the 200 coolest, best, and most important books you'll ever read

Ready, set, grab your library card and go. Librarian Sheridan (I Work at a Public Library) reviews an abundance of diverse literature in this cleverly titled book. With categories like American't Dream, Daisy Dukes, and Meta Textuals, Sheridan's tone is conversational, giving the book a personal feel, such as what you might find when making a stop at the reference desk. However, these recommendations (e.g., Richard Yates's Revolutionary Road and John Howard Griffin's Black Like Me) aren't your average readers' advisory; they don't follow the best sellers and the "if you like this, you should try this" model, exactly. Instead, Sheridan suggests books that are often forgotten; sometimes controversial ones. Significant and thought-provoking titles that have a powerful message, Sheridan's picks are sure to have something to please everyone, including audiobook lovers and fans of graphic novels. Covering one title per page, each review has a box for readers to keep track of books they have already read or may want to read, and there is a Master Checklist appendix with a list of all the titles in alphabetical order. VERDICT A great collection of must-read books suitable for a wide audience.--Venessa Hughes, Buffalo, NY © Copyright 2015. Library Journals LLC, a wholly owned subsidiary of Media Source, Inc.
