Recs if you like Demian...

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.

juyeon, an idol from kpop boy group the boyz, is an avid reader & frequently brings up (or is asked about) which book he’s reading. he is from south korea, but reads a variety of books in other languages as well. this is a list of all the books he has brought up to fans.
