You're at a loss of what to read next? Which movie to watch? What CD to listen to on the next roadtrip?

Maybe we can recommend something? At Selected you can find out about new and old books, DVDs and audio books from our library.

But we also want to know what our readers would select - Do you have a favorite film from our library? Or a book that was an especially good read? Then write us a short commentary about your discovery (ca. 1000 characters) and share it with our other readers.
