Recs if you like Zorba the Greek...

Stories that traded chapters for showtunes! From literary classics to contemporary novels these books found a second life under the Broadway lights! Please let me know any that I've missed!! (Note on curation: I've been cross checking titles with Internet Broadway Database (IBDB) which is Broadway's official archive)

Overlooked, lesser known classics from all over the world and of many genres.

This list also exists as a book club on Fable under the same name.

I created this list because I feel like Greece has been obscured by the long shadow of its classical heritage… there is more to Greek literature than the Odyssey and the Iliad. This will be updated with more books once PageBound allows a feature to transfer Greek-written titles from the Goodreads database onto here… right now it is a little tricky, as PB’s database isn’t as comprehensive as GR’s.

This list features one book from each country in Europe. I put the focus on women authors, with additional queer and BIPoC representation throughout. Happy reading!

All books read by Tough Guy Book Club since 2014. The club that wants men to Read More, Talk More, and have more Friends.

Everyone knows about the Odyssey and the Iliad but not many know that Greece has a rich history in modern and contemporary literature! This is a list of iconic pieces of contemporary and modern Greek fiction, including poetry.
