Incredible reference and a great read even if you're not usually a fan of "thrillers."

All I know is that, of the 100 noted within, I already read 18, had 14 more on to-read lists for a while now, and I added another 24 to said list from the 100 noted.

And then I added another 31 more books just from the authors who wrote about the 100 thrillers as their books also sounded interesting and worth reading.

So, 1 book read, 55 more added to the interminable to-read list. I'd fret about never finishing that to-read list but having more good things to read is never a bad thing.… (mehr)

Quick impressions: A nice collection of short essays about books in the thrillers genre. From ancient times looking at books such as The Odyssey to The Da Vinci Code, we get short essays on 100 selections. Each short essay is written by other authors in the genre. Morrell, the editor, is the author of First Blood (the basis for the film that went on to spawn the Rambo franchise). There may be one or two titles you may wonder if they are really thrillers, but that is part of the appeal. Overall, a good variety, and it may inspire to go back and look for some titles to read.
