Books to set the
blood boiling, the heart
racing.
Australia
My first
category.
Biography
List of
biographical and autobiographical
works.
Canada
Works by authors
from the world's second-largest country in terms of area
(that's what the border crossing guy called it in the
process of telling me I couldn't hitchhike from Tok
Junction to Skagway via
Whitehorse).
Classics
Works from the
Ancient World.
Critics
Well, hey, I
first started this site recalling rather well where
Dante put the commentators. But then again, there's some
value to the group.
Drama
The play's the
thing.
Elizabethans
Shakespeare, Marlowe,
Spenser.
Enlightenment
Thinkers
Kant, Hume,
Descartes--OK, I should probably use something to break
down the timeline
further.
Esoteric
UFOs, aliens,
Atlantis, Satanism, and, hopefully, texts I can point to
references of in Umberto Eco's Foucault's Pendulum (Not
as easy as Name of the Rose, but I'll
try).
Europa
Des Livres en
Francais, Bücher auf Deutsch, Libros en espaņol, etc.
Fiction
The sort of
books that aren't true, in the strictest sense, but can
hit higher realities on
occasion.
Folklore
Classics of a more humble origin;
teaching tales passed down; the people's histories; and
analysis of same.
For
Girls and Boys
Fiction, history
and other works for younger
readers.
Gothic
Tales
Stories of the
strange, the terrible, the
macabre.
History
History works
abound.
Modern
Thinkers
Philosophy and
social science from the last 150 years or
so.
Mystery
Whodunnit?
Where? When? Why?
Non
Fiction
Hey, these types
of books are the biggest sellers nowadays, and given my
high-margin profit model that's already being reviewed
in the major business schools, I figured I ought to join
in the fray.
Orient
Express
Works composed
in or related to the Middle East, Near East and Central
Asia (as the region is variously
called).
Poetry
Poems everyone.
Me lads and lassies reckon themselves
poets.
Political
Science
Things you have
to read if, every night, you try to take over the
world.
Pulp
Fiction
In keeping with
guidance I've received on copyright issues, be aware
web-viewing public that there is no particular reason
why a site like blackmask might have this category.
There's also no reason why I might be bummed that the
most nebulous Dashiell Hammett copyrights seem to be in
the hands of Human Rights Watch. No reason whatsoever. I
mean it.
Religion
Including the
big books of western and eastern faith, as well as texts
relating to them.
Satire
It is unwise to
tangle with a satirist. (Credit Matt
Groening).
Science
Texts relating the natural world,
laws governing same, and discoveries removing aforesaid
laws for their prior
solidity.
Science
Fiction
One of the most
popular genres--ebooks and
otherwise.
Tops
What everybody
wants.
Western
Novels and stories from that other
big pulp
fad.
