100 Must-Read American Novels - Page 2

All books listed here are from the Bloomsbury Good Reading Guide by Nick Rennison & Ed Wood. The title is a bit misleading as there are several short story collections listed. However, it is an excellent way to get a feel for the diversity of American literature. From Poe to Foer, you can't go wrong. I only listed the books with separate entries as about every title is followed by a few others by the same writer, & a few more on the same theme.There are also a dozen theme lists scattered throughout the book. Have fun & stay tuned for more lists from this series.
