Classics - Now Genrefied!

Genrefied Classics: A Guide to Reading Interests in Classic Literature (Genreflecting Advisory Series) Genrefied Classics: A Guide to Reading Interests in Classic Literature by Tina Frolund


My review


rating: 5 of 5 stars
This is a powerhouse reference work for any library reader's advisor. While ideal for advising young adults who have to read a classic, it is also great for those wishing to start reading classics. Many a self-learner wants to know what the "classic" books are. Many would like to read a "classic." And, like many of us, the reader may be put off by the choices.



Genrefied Classics helps the reader narrow down the choices by presenting classics as part of genre. Science Fiction and Fantasy are well-represented as is, of course, mystery. There are also great suggestions for other genres as well.
