Recs if you like River of Stars: Selected Poems...

I've seen so many people say they don't read classics as they aren't diverse, and I wanted to give some suggestions that are.

This is a list of classics written by authors who are not Straight, Cis, White, and Men as the title suggests. I am also aiming to include a variety of cultures and regions in this list. If your looking for something more focused (e.g. diverse US classics) check out the lists I posted in the comments.

Suggestions are more than welcome!

Every book or author mentioned in Ruth Ozeki’s “A Tale for the Time Being” in one convenient place

A list to deepen one’s understanding of cross-literary conversation from a 21st century author.

I created this list in the spirit of one of the central themes of the novel, that being that literature is a conversation through space and time. Writing is a kind of time travel, if only just to the future, and reading is one to the past.

Books and authors that inspired the characters and their powers in Bungo Stray Dogs. [not complete*]

*missing Hirotsu R.'s Falling Camellia, Sakaguchi A.'s Betrayal (for Murakoso Yachiyo) and Blizzard Story (for Aoki Takuichi), Edogawa R.'s Monster's Trick (for Minoura and Sugimoto) and Shadow-Man (for Yamagiwa), Mushitaro O.'s Perfect Crime, Fukuchi O.'s The Mirror Lion, A Spring Diversion, Teruko O.'s Gasp of the Soul, Saigiku J.'s Priceless Tears, Shibusawa T.'s Draconia

Books featured as abilities in BSD--I tried to get all of them that I could!!

stunning, atmospheric poetry that rarely makes it onto your social media feed - from sapphic russian poetesses to midnight haikus and botanical grief

Books written by the authors featured in anime Bungou Stay Dogs. Have fun feeding your hyperfixation sweetie!
