Katona has compiled a complete handbook for general students and
readers of literature. Developed out of a thirty-one year career of
teaching Introduction to Literature to community college freshmen,
this book aims not just to teach how to read literature, but how to
actually enjoy it. Beginning with the state of reading in America,
Katona gives eleven good reasons to make reading a regular part of
life, and supplies an annotated list of tried and true
page-turners. Besides giving the standard bibliographical
information (i.e. title, author, number of pages, and date), the
annotated book list gives the book's genre, its level of challenge,
a brief synopsis, quotations showing off the writer's style,
reading hints, other works by the author, and finally the book's
movie counterparts. From seasoned lovers of literature to newcomers
to the reading addiction, Katona's accessible style makes this book
appealing to a wide audience. Book Savvy will serve as an effective
guide for the burgeoning book club community as well as a welcome
tool for literature teachers struggling to spark the interest of
their students.
