Recs if you like The Tempest...

books featured in the cozy video game “tiny bookshop”

Just a fun little list of books that have inspired songs. Please list the book and the song with the artist in your suggestions, or if it's a concept album based on a book, just include the book and the album with the artist. I will not be including any books by JKR, Neil Gaiman, or Orson Scott Card, or songs by Iced Earth. Will not be adding musicals based on books, songs written for films based on books, or songs that are classic poems to music.

Just personally wanted a compilation of all plays for ease of access, even those with debatable authorship. Hopefully should appear chronologically from ascending to descending.

All fiction books that appear in the Tiny Bookshop catalogue! Would sort them by genre as I read along.

no like….. literally

Books shown or referenced in the tv show Buffy The Vampire Slayer - not including thematic references only direct references or books shown on screen.

Every book depicted on PBS's Wishbone (1995–1997)

When you follow the strange trails, they will take you who knows where.

(almost) every book in the game: tiny bookshop

This isn't MY list. These are the foundational texts of the Western Canon. Up until the early 1900s, these were unquestionably part of any educated person's background. Austen, Lewis, Twain, James, Sayers, Tolkien....what do you think they grew up reading that informed the genius works they created? Their masterpieces didn't materialize out of thin air. This list is by no means comprehensive, but you'll be off to a solid start.

aka you know there's gotta be a river, there's gotta be some obscure and complicated folklore, there's gotta be some sort of myth/historical reference or retelling.

Because we all know Colin Meloy loves a good book. List of songs and references in the comments; well known works listed when authors are broadly referenced. Recommendations appreciated for items that were overlooked.

All the stories from the bard and stories that he inspired- I definitely need recommendations for this one!!

This is a list of (most) every book mentioned in the video game 'Tiny Bookshop'

How do you go about defining good and bad and morality

A mix of fiction and nonfiction to make you broaden your perspective or maybe just contemplate your definition of evil and righteous.

Suggested additions are welcome in the comments. I will do my own research before adding them.

Ever wondered what books of your nation are taught in other countries? Well, I always do. This is what we study in English literature (by any English speaking country) here in Italian highschools.

I only study English, so I can only do it for this language. If any Italian highschooler wants to add books mentioned by their text that I didn't have, or books their teachers made them study in class, they are welcome to do so.

Hope someone is interested.
