Literature

Welcome to the Literature page of the “Map of Genres” series. If you are unfamiliar with the series, you can read the introduction post here.

I have not been reading many books in the literature category recently, I find I shy away from them because I worry that they will be more serious than I am looking for at the time. I am hoping to break out of this trend and stretch myself to read more books in this category in the upcoming months.

If you have suggestions of literary books I should read, I would love to hear them in the comments!

*Note: Many of the links below currently link to the same handful of articles, and many have only brief notes about the book listed. These will be expanded upon as more posts are added to the site.


  1. The Alchemist – Paulo Coelho
  2. The Seven Husbands of Evelyn Hugo – Taylor Jenkins Reid
