By grouping fiction and nonfiction books by general categories it provides a structure for searching for the areas that are of most interest to the individual reader. The inclusion of an index of authors, titles, and subjects enhances its value. ( ) This was pretty old and out-of-date when I first picked this up in a used book store. It was before much feminist criticism, for instance made its mark on the core curriculum. So in the list of 100 Significant Books, there are only 3 by women: Jane Austen, George Eliot and Emily Dickinson. Sappho isn't even listed in the section on Ancient Greek literature and Lillian Hellman is the sole female playwright mentioned in the section on Drama. That said, I did find reading the 100 Significant books invaluable--an education in itself. I used it to keep my mind turning to mush during a time I had dropped out of college and every single book I read listed there gave me great insight into literature and Western culture as a whole. I haven't really explored the other recommendations, but given my good experience with that list, I'm keeping the book on my shelves so I can read more of their suggestions--even if a more up to date edition is badly needed.

Thoroughly revised and updated, the new 23rd edition of this Bowker classic recommends 3,000 enduring nonfiction and fiction titles, and is an ideal source for collection development and patron assistance. Entries are indexed under 5 major subject headings: Historical Periods-from ancient Greece to the 18th century; Regional and American Minority Cultures - from Middle Eastern to Chicano-Hispanic literature; Literary Types - from the novel and short story to language and communications; Humanities and Social Sciences - from the fine and performing arts to psychology, economic and women's studies: and Sciences - from biology to mathematics. A special section on references books is also included. Featured are all-new chapters on science fiction, mystery, fiction, and computer science. The core list of 101 Significant Books is now supplemented with separate lists suggesting books to read before entering college, while on vacation, and after retiring.
