I'm pretty sure I bought this half by accident and half for free shipping this summer. I'm pretty sure I thought it was by Adler, or at least somehow Adler-adjacent. It's an interesting curio of the pre-internet days. It's literally just a list of 100-some authors with summaries and light commentary on a few of their books. I'm pretty sure if you tried to sell it today, it would at best get chucked in the bargain pile at Barnes and Noble for five bucks. But, in the pre-internet era, I can see it. "What shall I read tonight?" or whatever is in 15MAD. I feel like you could take it even further and have it be one of those magazines where you're supposed to take them all and put them in a binder. I don't know that I'm ever actually going to read this (like I don't have enough "what to read" lists already), but it's still kind of neat. Might be a good bathroom reader or something.
