In addition, there are indexes by author and by period and title.
For example, readers could use the author index to find which books by
Jane Austen or John Steinbeck are most often listed as Great Books.
Readers could use the period and culture indexes to get a list of Great
Books from Elizabethan England or 20th century Japan.
I think this site would be useful for librarians doing reader's
advisory work. For what it's worth: I am a librarian who has worked in
public libraries doing reader's advisory.
Thank you.
