1001 Books to Read Before You Die
Based on the list/book published in 2006, general editor Peter Boxall.
Epistolary Novels
"a novel written as a series of letters between the fictional characters of a narrative. The term is often extended to cover novels that intersperse other kinds of fictional document with the letters, most commonly diary entries and newspaper clippings, and sometimes considered to include novels composed of documents even if they do not include letters at all. More recently, epistolaries may include electronic documents such as recordings and radio, blog posts, and emails."
Epistolary Books
Epistolary delivery: Books told in the form of letters, journals, diaries, texts, logs, etc...
Baby Name Generator
Name generators my beloveds. Just a list made by someone whose D&D characters were mostly christened with the help of RNG. The one and only criterion: Title is a first/given name (or nickname too)! Some are verified by the book actually containing a character with that name.
Books Straight from a English Literature Syllabus
All these books are taken from various courses I've taken as English Literature undergrad! Contains both well known classics and ones you probably have never heard of. (work in progress)
Classic Eighteenth Century Books
Jane Austen's Bookshelf
Books that may have inspired her, as documented in the book of the same name. Updating as I work my way through the source material and some supplemental reading. Note: not all of these were Austen-approved, like Fordyce's sermons, lambasted in P&P. But we are also shaped by what we consider in poor taste and judgement.

This is your sign to dive headfirst into epistolary literature
Behold: yet another of my 2 a.m. deep dives - this time into epistolary literature! The list starts with some of the earliest examples of the form and follows it into the present day, from stories told through letters and diaries to those built from emails, texts, transcripts, and other documents. Whether you’re a longtime fan or completely new to this genre, what interests you most about it?
(A quick note: I put this list together using Wikipedia, blog posts, and Reddit threads. I did my best to keep everything in chronological order, but a few mistakes may have slipped through - it was 2 a.m., after all. If you have any suggestions on what else I should add, I’d love to hear it!)
