Recs if you like Same Bed Different Dreams...

a diverse selection of alternate history novels & stories (that aren’t just about WW2/nazism)

Books that are just as good as the cover promises. AKA: Fantastic book covers that also happen to be fantastic books! List will be added to in the future because I can’t leave well enough alone. (Suggestions welcome, leave it in the comments.)

Books about books. Books about authors/writers. Books about readers…but not like Annie Wilkes from Misery. Just non-psychotic readers. This list doesn’t include libraries or bookstores, because those are totally different types of pizza.

I asked Pagebound for books with a book inside the book. The following list is made up out of those recommendations. In some of them the MC is writing or reading a book that you also get to read, in others it is short stories or oral histories. In all of them, you get more then just one story. I have not read all of these books. I am open to more recommendations.

NB The Book of Counted Sorrows by Dean Koontz is often referenced is his other works and only later was actually written.

Stories set in future or alternate versions of Korea. This is not Korea a little to the left, but Korea turned upside down!
