The silk road is a very popular book at our bookshop in NZ.
Very nice compilation of books. Thank you Goodreads!
Thank you for these wonderful recommendations Goodreads!
You missed a huge demographic here! I would love to have had some inspiration for teen readers.
No Teen/YA books? I'm quite disappointed since that's such a huge group of readers.

It is by peter frankopan, its on goodreads.
Thank you for including I'd Rather be Reading! Great recommendations all around.
Jill Schaefer's website listing all four of her books. http://home.earthlink.net/~schaefer234 Great reads!
As an educator and environmentally-focused children's book author, I believe in the power of reading...and see first-hand how a book can not only entertain, but educate, inspire change and spark the imagination!
This has backfired, and just ended with me adding lots of new books to my "to read" list!
Thank you for not encouraging nowadays weak books. Literature has lost its touch, decaying as every art inspired in the last years.
Allison wrote: "You missed a huge demographic here! I would love to have had some inspiration for teen readers."Yes! Where are the young adult suggestions?
I'd like to see some more stocking-stuffer type of ideas for book lovers (besides bookmarks, which is about all my not-so-creative mind seems to be able to come up with!)
Thank you Good Reads for all the books you are showing, I just love this site!!!!
Excellent. Books make the best gifts...they make new readers and inspire old ones to read more. Bueno.
Yes I so agree with you Lawrence, books take you anywhere you want to go and if you find something that interests you it can make you a reader for life. I can't understand my friends who don't read, how boring life must be for them. They say it puts them to sleep, well a good book keeps you up!!!
'Reading is dreaming with open eyes' Thanks for the advice of books. I know understand how this website is a major hit. It is awesome.
Great except where's the Young Adult section?
Yeah, that's just what I was thinking.

Kayleigh {K-Books} wrote: "No Teen/YA books? I'm quite disappointed since that's such a huge group of readers."I was going to say the same thing! I can't believe how many reading gift guides totally skip the YA market!

and
First Kiss and other True Fiction
