The Novel Cure: From Abandonment to Zestlessness: 751 Books to Cure What Ails You by Ella Berthoud, Susan Elderkin

3.0

Basically this was a book about books. A list of books. Suggestions for novels to read when you're suffering from any number of the ailments described in the book. Sometimes the suggestions were funny, other times a tad too preachy and sometimes just lame. Oddly enough, I think my biggest disappoint was that I didn't come away with a new list of to be read books. There were a few I want to try, but in general I wasn't really interested in their suggestions (or I had already read them).
