READ THIS NEXT: And Discover Your 500 New Favourite Books - Tapa blanda

In 2009 it was How NOT to Write a Novel ('A hilarious, wickedly observed and deeply useful guide' Observer). In 2010 it's READ THIS NEXT - Sandra Newman and Howard Mittelmark have written the perfect book for anyone who has ever struggled to choose what to read next.

And what's more, it's very, very funny.
