This is a great book even if you are not part of a reading group. The book contains 33 recommended book lists with a paragraph synopsis of each book, such as Memoirs, Health, Adventure, Mystery, Science Fiction, 19th Century Novels, etc. I was able to add books to my PaperbackSwap Wish List from reading this book!
