One of the best ways to find a good book to read is through personal recommendation. My favorite thing is a good piece of either fiction or non-fiction that is very good but not the latest thing. Something that is maybe 2 or 3 years old, old enough to be past the buzz and hot advertising stage, that is sitting on a library shelf just waiting for a reader to find it. There are some web spots that can help. Here are a couple I know about. Please add what you know about in a comment.

I recently found an Australian magazine "Good Reading" that is available in print and online. They also have a good website:
