Judie Strouf’s Literature Lover’s Book of Lists is a simple exercise that gather a lot of information. It bills itself as a “compendium of useful, whimsical, and necessary information for people…who love to read.” The 198 compiled lists try to order, categorize, and codify the entirety of literature for those crave such information. It has every Pulitzer Prize winner and their works, poem types and literary devices with examples, landmark books and speeches from every major Western period, lists of literary genres, and so on and so on.

Aside from its very evident Western bias and dated information, I only have one quibble with this volume. In the section on poetic forms, she includes personal compositions for the couplet, sestina, pantoum, and cinquain, as if no there are other classic or seminal examples of these forms. Luckily, she had the presence of mind to stay out of the sonnets. Other than that, you’ll find a wealth of information here. I don’t, however, suggest you read it straight through. It’s a bit of a slog, but as a bathroom reader it works rather well. ( )

Goes to show you should never buy a "recommended" book if you don't know what's in it. The subtitle says "Serious" Trivia, but this turns out to be pretty simplistic lists. Still sort of fun, but if you already are a bibliophile, there is nothing here you don't already know, and most likely have, in better form than this. ( )

This is a good bathroom book but only earns two stars because of it's "Literary Pyramid." The book tells us that the works towards the top of the pyramid are "more rewarding" and that those who feel "less confident" should begin at the lower level and make small steps towards "better" literature. Fables, limericks, and comics are at the very bottom, below Pop Magazines and letters. Comics are just as valid and challenging as any other sort of literature. ( )

This is a fun book for book lovers. Hardcore bibliophiles might find little new to them, but if geeky enough will have fun thumbing through it anyway. ( )
