15 Books You Should Have Read in 2010 - Culture
Image by Jane Mount, Courtesy 20x200 Yes, we read Freedom this year and yes, it was good. As Esquire put it, it “was one great slab of a book, at a time when most books have given up on greatness.” But there were other books in 2010, books that had to compete for our ever more challenged attention spans and won. So we asked a few members of the GOOD team & some of our good colleagues which book made their best list this past year. 1.

The 200 Greatest Adventure Novels of All Time
What follows is a list of two hundred of my favorite adventure novels published before the Eighties (1984–93). They’re organized not qualitatively — that would be impossible — but chronologically. I’ve also listed another two hundred fifty second-tier favorite adventures, which you can peruse via the following posts: Best 19th Century Adventure (1805–1903) | Best Nineteen-Oughts Adventure (1904–13) | Best Nineteen-Teens Adventure (1914–23) | Best Twenties Adventure (1924–33) | Best Thirties Adventure (1934–43) | Best Forties Adventure (1944–53) | Best Fifties Adventure (1954–63) | Best Sixties Adventure (1964–73) | Best Seventies Adventure (1974–83). Enjoy! And please let me know what I’ve overlooked. Why does my Top Adventures List project stop in 1983? In chronological order: 1814. 1820. 1844. 1851. 1870. 1883. 1885. 1887. 1894. 1897. 1901. 1904. 1905. 1908. 1910. 1912. 1912.

Book-A-Minute Classics
Got another book report to do? English teachers have the inconsiderate habit of assigning mammoth-sized works of literature to read and then actually expecting you to do it. This wouldn't be so bad except that invariably the requisite reading is as boring as fly fishing in an empty lake. Half of those books don't even have discernible plots. And let's face it -- the Cliff's Notes are pretty time-consuming too. Worry no more. "That's nice," you say, "but I don't believe you." Latest additions: 4/6/12 Little Women by Louisa May Alcott.

It's been a long time in coming, but the NEW Top 25 Best Science Fiction list has been released January 2016.

We've also filled out every section with MORE information about why we consider each entry the best of the best. This list presents my picks for the Top 25 Science Fiction Books. I know that just like my Best Fantasy Books list, you can’t please everyone. You can read my deeper look into the Science Fiction genre and my reasoning’s for my picks below, or you can just jump to the list. What’s Qualifies as “The Best?” This is a tricky one. Many of the best “classics” science fictions are heavy on ground breaking ideas but pretty light on story and characters.

The 16 Best Dystopian Books Of All Time
Dystopian novels—stories of the horrific future—are so common as to be almost forgettable. Here is a compilation of what I believe are the 16 greatest of the genre. I could happily list twice as many that are amazing, but these are the best. From the post-apocalyptic wasteland to deadly viruses to social malaise, all possible bad futures end here. 16. Best known for his Narnia novels, CS Lewis also wrote a trilogy dealing with visiting other planets—well the first two books did. 15. Wow, can you get more polar opposite of CS Lewis than Margaret Atwood? 14. While perhaps not as well known as some, John Christopher (the pen name of Samuel Youd) wrote a fantastic trilogy of young adult novels, set in a far future where the world has reverted to a feudal society after a global ecological disaster. 13. This novel, combined with Brooks’ Zombie Survival Guide are all you need to face the inevitable zombie apocalypse. 12. 11. Lets just throw all of Gibson’s cyberpunk in here, shall we?
