If you're searching for a list of the best American novels of all time or the fifty books you should read before you turn fifty, A Book of Book Lists is not for you. But it is the book for you if you're curious as to which books Captain Robert Falcon Scott packed for an expedition to Antarctica in 1901, which poems were featured in the film Dead Poets Society, the contents of the library on the International Space Station, and which books are painted on the exterior of the Kansas City Central Library's parking garage. These and dozens more esoteric, lit-minded lists make fascinating reading—and engaging conversation starters—for avid readers.
