ThrillerBiographyLiterary Fiction 4 REVIEWS RATES HIGH WHEN HOOKED J June Achterberg I underline sentences. I hold a book to the standard of its own best paragraph, which makes me a hard rater and, I'm told, annoying at book club. Literary FictionTranslated FictionRomance 3 REVIEWS HARD RATER T Tomasz Wilk History and nonfiction first, science fiction when I want to be told a story. I read with a map open. HistoryScience FictionBiography 4 REVIEWS COUNTS THE PAGES P Priya Nandakumar Romance, fantasy, and YA, in roughly that order. I read a lot and fast, and I want to feel something by chapter three.

My test is simple: if I can't explain the idea to a coworker the next morning, the book didn't do its job.
