Recs if you like Tales from the Thousand and One Nights...

Based on the list/book published in 2006, general editor Peter Boxall.

Inspired by some comments I saw regarding classics being too straight white male oriented. There are lots of classics that aren't, but unfortunately don't always get as much recognition. Hoping this list might help those interested expand their range of classics. Non-exhaustive and taking suggestions!

Classic novels for your (inner) child, with some modern staples in the mix. For reading yourself, reading aloud to little ones, and for those learning to read. Suggestions welcome, as always!

When gods were real and heroes walked the earth, these stories were everything.

If you like The Odyssey, The Iliad, and crave more knowledge on mythological epics told around the world - this list is for you! As much as I love the existing quests and lists around Greco-Roman mythology and its retellings, it fuelled the flame to read other epics that are overshadowed by Greek/Roman/Norse mythology. Start exploring! May you be blessed by the Gods/Goddesses, traveller!

Every culture has stories of creation, explaining how things came to be, telling of heroes, divine beings and the people. I want to learn more of different stories so I’m adding the translated versions where possible.

This website ranks global literature using "best of lists" from over 700 sources. I compiled this list with the nonfiction % set to 50%.

books mentioned/quoted by Will and/or Tessa in Cassandra Clare's Infernal Devices series (i added also the first book of the series to make it easier to navigate)

works that are referenced in (or remind me of) dave malloy’s excellent musical ghost quartet

“i’m a little confused and more than a little frightened.” “it’s okay my dear, this is a circular story.”

This is the compendium of books from the 2012 edition.

Una selección personal de novelas y clásicos que vale la pena leer al menos una vez: historias inolvidables, autores esenciales y libros que dejaron huella en la literatura. Una lista para explorar mundos, ideas y personajes que siguen resonando mucho después de cerrar la última página.
