Day 872, Quasi-Quarantine: Catalog Offers Clinical Look At Beloved Books


Essentially a catalog, "The Top Ten: Writers Pick Their Favorite Books" is a handy resource for avid readers looking to find overlooked or forgotten books. Editor J. Peder Zane convinced 125 writers to contribute their personal top-10 lists, with 18 electing to describe a favorite work in less than 100 words. 

If you're looking for much beyond a pure collection of novelist-cited books, this isn't for you. However, the short descriptions and rankings of each of the mentioned books are extremely useful for those seeking recommendations, making this a collection likely to be referred to over and over again.
