Recs if you like Notes of a Crocodile...

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!

Basically, a huge list of books from all genres featuring sapphic characters, whether bisexual, lesbian, butch, femme, or anything in between.

Includes fiction and nonfiction. Books with spice, and books with very little romance alike. You may find epic lady knights, pirates, ancient vampires or just weird girl adventures, heartbreaking stories or cozy books of found family and queer joy. Memoirs, historical fiction, instruction manuals, maybe even a poem or two.

Welcoming suggestions<3

After the lifting of martial law in 1987, Taiwan’s rapid democratisation nurtured a vibrant counter-culture, including a wave of literature marked by stylistic experimentation, marginal voices, and a critical questioning of state narratives.

This period is often described as the “golden age” of tóngzhì (同志) lit, in which writers placed lesbian, gay and queer experiences at the centre of innovative, politically charged work.

Stories that tell the tale of sapphic life and love throughout time

An on-going attempt to track Asian authors in my Interested/TBR (and hopefully Finished) categories. Books are generally fiction/lit fic/fantasy with some memoirs. Authors span West to East Asia, the Asian diaspora, and mixed-race folx.

reading diversely is not a trend. it’s the bare minimum. and if your shelves don’t reflect that, you’re missing out.
