Help us complete the largest ever survey of English language novels

Review books, get recommendations, and help researchers

To accompany the 大象传媒's The Novels That Shaped Our World season, literary experts at the University of Wolverhampton have created a series of surveys based on the books chosen by our panel. They are asking readers to review books they've read, and to tell them about the novels the panel should have included.

Calling all readers...

Each survey takes just five minutes to complete. Anyone can contribute, even if they've never studied literature. Everyone who takes part will get a personalised set of recommendations for their next great read, chosen by people who love books.
