Booklist's Gillian Engberg interviews Daniel Handler, best-selling author also known as Lemony Snicket

What are you talking about?

Lemony's Long Shortlist

As the titles in the All the Wrong Questions series reveal, young Lemony Snicket is an avid reader—and an avid library-goer—and his literary tastes are eclectic, to say the least. After the interview, above, Daniel Handler and I chatted about what characterizes a book as essential reading. Speaking on Mr. Snicket's behalf, Mr. Handler shared a few elements, starting with the necessity that "dreadful things happen." Also important? "An ongoing sense of mystery, digressionary explorations, startling language, and an overall sense of strangeness."

So which books make young Mr. Snicket's list of essential reading? As Mr. Handler says, it's impossible to include them all, so Snicket and Handler have chosen a subcategory: books with the word long in the title. A disclaimer: while the word long is not in the title Danny, the Champion of the World, the book appears below because, as Mr. Handler says, "it's a longish title, so it gets filed under the subheading "long.'" Another reason for its inclusion? Handler shares his and Mr. Snicket's preference for the book as one of Roald Dahl's best, which they recently reread for the "who-knows-what-ith time." Have your own favorite book that has long in the title (or just a long title)? Click here to add your vote! And so, without further ado, please enjoy the list.

Lemony Snicket's Essential Books with the Word long
in the Title—And One Longish Title that
Lemony Snicket Happens to Love

  1. Along a Long Road, by Frank Viva
  2. The Changing Light at Sandover: Three Long Poems, by James Merrill
  3. Danny, the Champion of the World, by Roald Dahl
  4. The Long Goodbye, by Raymond Chandler
  5. The Long Secret, by Louise Fitzhugh
  6. So Long, See You Tomorrow, by William Maxwell

What is a Booklist Online exclusive review?

Booklist Online exclusive reviews complement Booklist's already extensive print coverage, allowing us both to review some subject areas in greater depth and to weigh in more quickly on titles not released for review in advance of publication. Occasionally, we write new reviews of older books, too, to offer fresh perspective on a familiar work. These titles are recommended, with qualifications as noted, for purchase by public and school libraries; for further information, please consult the Booklist selection policy.
