A book that leads to other books

I bought this book a few weeks ago after watching a a critically acclaimed but in reality a wretched movie. At first I thought it was a bit steep for its price but after browsing a couple of pages and its table of contents I became convinced it was a good buy.

Its hard to put down this pocket book. The knowledge contained in this book will keep you entertained for hours. And after that you might be able to pass yourself as a literary buff. Aside from the basics as to what makes a piece of fiction cult fiction the books discusses several aspects of cult fictiondom. There is a a chapter on the authors of cult fiction - interesting information about them what were their favourite books, what writers influenced them, who they influenced, their quirks and a lot of other trivial information. Then there is a chapter on graphic novels, because as they wrote "cult works are more than just words". And then the book had a chapter on books that achieved cult status even it their authors did not. A chapter was also written for non-fiction books that attained cult status. I could go on and on.

My only frustration with the book is its size or lack of it. Books like this should be a bit bigger and with more chapters. Also maybe it would have been better had it been hardbound. Then thats just me talking.
