Garuda Purana is one of the most reactionary works, though in its 19,000 verses there could be some wisdom. You may read the Wikipedia page on Garuda Purana or there is a full translation available. [See Related Links]

Garuda Purana is the Hindu 'Book of Dead'.

It is wrong to say that one should not keep Garuda Purana at home. The entire epic is in the form of conversation between Garuda, the vehicle of Lord Vishnu and the Lord Himself. The Lord explains the life of the soul after death. Because the epic deals with death, a natural process that nobody can avoid, people blindly say that Garuda Purana should not be kept at home. It is only a myth. One can safely keep this book at home.

Different lists of Vishnu's avatars appear in different texts, including: the dasavatara from the Garuda Purana; lists of twenty-two, twenty-three, and sixteen avatars in the Bhagavata Purana; thirty-nine avatars in the Ahirbudhnya saṃhitā; the dasavatara again in Agni Purana; the first eight of the dasavatara in Padma Purana.
