Let the Internet Choose Your Reading.

My husband is a serial monogamist. He falls passionately in love with an author and reads all of his or her works, and then moves on to an equally passionate love affair with another author. Many years ago, another friend, with more eclectic and modern tastes, figured he couldn't go wrong by signing up for the Book of the Month Club and accepting every main selection as it arrived. My 34-year-old son, who is writing a novel set in ancient Rome, has read just about every ancient Greek classic in translation and is now working his way chronologically through Roman history and philosophy. With so many book review sites online, it's easy to check in with experts in fiction, nonfiction, and poetry who are asked to review books in their field.
