From Brian Spencer, your About This Week Editor
I made a few modest promises to myself in January that I intend to keep, including floss regularly (check) and read at least one new book a month (check). While it's nice to have gums that aren't needlessly receding (not that they ever were, of course), the second one has been particularly rewarding. Join me by putting your nose in any of the fine books our Guides to Contemporary Literature and Bestsellers have recommended below.

Best Books of 2010
I haven't had a chance to read any of our Guide to Contemporary Literature's picks for the top-13 books released last year, but I just added six of these to my list, with Jonathan Franzen's Freedom at the top.

Of the thousands of books published in the 2000s, which were the ones you absolutely should read? Here's 10 that should stand the test of time and are well worth picking up if you haven't already.

Books to Bring to the Beach
This diverse list of recommendations from our Guide to Bestsellers is focused on entertaining books to bring to the beach this summer. Whether you like romance, thrillers, or something smart, but not too heavy, she's got books that'll suit all types of readers.

Recommended Science-Fiction Reads
With her eye to both classic and modern science-fiction novels, our Guide to Bestsellers has some great picks. This one isn't on her list, but I've just recently started Paolo Bacigalupi's The Windup Girl, which is set in a future Thailand; so far, so good.
