I was listening to a caller's request for help finding new genres, and while the online advice you gave him was fine, as a public librarian I wanted to share a few print resources that are great, too. These (and many others) can be found at most larger public libraries: Genreflecting: A Guide to Popular Reading Interests by Diana Tixier Herald http://www.amazon.com/Genreflecting-Popular-Reading-Interests-Advisory/dp/1591582865/ref=pd_bbs_sr_1?ie=UTF8&s=books&qid=1235248890&sr=8-1 The Readers' Advisory Guide to Genre Fiction by Joyce G.

While the Saricks book is aimed at librarians offering readers advisory service to the public, it can certainly benefit somene looking to find some new authors. Ms. Saricks is a wonderful speaker, by the way, and may make an interesting guest on your show sometime. She's a superstar in library circles, although I don't know how many people know her work outside the library field. I hope you get a chance to look at both reference books if you haven't seen them before. They've certainly enhanced my reading experiences. Thanks again for the wonderful show.

It'll read the book to you if you want it to. I think it's an interesting idea, but I think that the synthetic voice programming have to be developed a little bit more more to be aesthetic to my ears.
