Literary Almanac?

[DearGirl]

I once came across a book which was basically a literary almanac - so say you were feeling melancholy it would suggest you read this book, you were heartbroken, read this etc etc.

Any ideas what on earth I'm talking about? :)

No, but it sounds fab!

Yes I got it for my brother last year - hold on , let me see if I can remember the title

It's 'the novel cure'

That's it! Fantastic. Thank you

Happy to help normally it's me asking questions on MN. Delighted to actually know something for once :-)
