title: Unlocking Worlds: A Reading Companion for Book Lovers
author:  Sally Allen 
description: <div><span>"There are many books available that exist to give impressions of other books [...]. The question with such books is, do they validate the time spent reading them, or would one be better served to simply read one of the other books on his or her to-read list? As a distillation of many years of reading,</span><span><i>Unlocking Worlds</i></span><span>provides valuable knowledge to anyone looking beyond the next Amazon recommendation for ideas. More importantly, even if one never follows up with any of Allen's recommendations, reading</span><span><i>Unlocking Worlds</i></span><span>is an enjoyable experience all by itself." - Foreword Clarion Reviews</span><span></span></div><br /><br /><span>&quot;This lovely little book is inspiring me to reclaim the obsessive, escapist, reading/dreaming part of my personality.&quot; - Johnna Kaplan, The Size of Connecticut</span><span></span>
