Reading guides

What to read and in what order: author guides, genres, and picks made for book club discussion.

Reading guides answer the question every book club keeps asking: what do we read next. Here you will find where to start with authors such as Gabriel García Márquez, Jorge Luis Borges, Julio Cortázar, or Virginia Woolf, with a reasoned reading order, verified dates and editions, and discussion questions for each book. There are also selections by genre and format: crime fiction, dystopias, science fiction, graphic novels, essays, short books for clubs with little time, and literature in translation. Each guide suggests what to read next and how to find the titles secondhand or through a swap. These are not sales lists: books are chosen because they spark conversation, not because anyone paid to appear. The collection grows as clubs ask us for new authors and genres to discuss.
