A Course of Individual Reading

Reading-for-Fun can be used as a guide to your own course of reading. 

You may wonder where to start.  Reading good popular genre novels is a great place!

You may have read some detective stories, and wondered about how the genre developed.  You might like to understand more about how romance novels can include such widely different books as Pride and Prejudice and Bridget Jones’s Diary.  Or you might like to read about the background to the sort of novels that win literary prizes.  Reading-for-Fun puts authors and their books into a context that adds a different dimension to each of the individual books, and to your favourite genre.

Don’t know what to read next?  Reading-for-Fun also suggests additional authors of similar books.

Because the books are popular novels, they are particularly useful for readers who haven’t done much reading, or haven’t done much reading lately. Many are suitable as reading for children who've enjoyed the Harry Potter series and are now looking for something else!
