In teaching how to read literature and enjoy it, Katona gives 11 good reasons to make reading a part of regular life and includes a list of tried and true page-turners with their movie counterparts. Teachers of reading, students, general readers of literature, and those just developing an interest in reading will find this guide appealing.

Katona aims to convince America to pick up a book and read. She climbs up on the podium from page one of this book and lectures to us about why we need to read (she claims there are eleven good reasons) and what we could be reading. Then she provides an eighty page book list of books we might try, books that range from a 5 level of challenge (masterworks, with demanding ideas and vocabulary) to a 1 level of challenge (books written for children, but with appeal to adults). Lots of books on the list are mainstays of lists like these, but there are enough surprises to justify my purchase at Half Price Books.
