What to read and what to read next - over 100,000 copies sold; With 100,000 new books each year joining the enormous wealth of already published literature, finding more titles in the same fiction genre or non-fiction topic as that 'unputdownable' book can be difficult. The Bloomsbury Good Reading Guide features more than 350 major authors and 4,000 books. For each author a short article on style, influences, settings, theme, and salient works is followed by a 'Read On' section directing readers to similar books by other authors. For instance, Iain Banks's science fiction works are cross-referred to books by J G Ballard and Robert Sheckley, while from his literary novels, readers are signposted to Martin Amis's The Information (for dark, obsessive behaviour) and to Alasdair Gray's Lanark (Scottish contemporary fiction). For twelve of the most influential works of literature, 'Pathways' lead readers to books with similar themes. For those new to English literature, 'Startpoints' provide a brief history of writing within each of the twelve main genres, and a list of the most popular books in each.
