The Church maintained an index of banned books for a long time, until it got to be a "must read for Satanists" list. Has the Church (or affiliated bodies) ever maintained a list of _good_ books. Here's what I know so far: - I know of the Catholic Library Association's book award (but that's just one Children's book per year) - there's the _imprimatur_ and _nihil obstat_, but I don't think they keep a categorized list and I don't think it generally includes fiction. - The USCCB does movie ratings, but not book reviews as far as I know. - Focus on the Family does book reviews, but it's not Catholic.
