Well, then look no further than Morton Grove Public Library's Fiction_L Booklists. These lists are compiled from the Fiction_L listserv content which provides subscribers with advice/discussion on readers' advisory issues that arise in libraries. If you enjoy a challenge, look for a post where someone is trying to determine a book title based on a vague description. It is very entertaining, especially if you try to find the answer yourself. In this way, this listserv functions as a haven for assistance with difficult questions. Now, back to the point of this post. The Fiction_L Booklists are divided into the following categories: Genre, Character, Setting, Subject, Author, Audience, "Best of", and Miscellaneous. Even if you don't have a specific request to fill, one can certainly pick up some knowledge of authors/titles within the lists of each category.
If you enjoy these booklists, then I highly recommend subscribing to the Fiction_L listserv. If you're a Gmail user, like me, you can filter the listserv posts, and then they are available for easy searching in the future. If not, then just check out the Fiction_L Archives.
