Questions people ask

Is this scientific?

No. It's a taste read built on a few well-studied preference patterns, for fun. It says which literary novels you reach for right now, not how well read you are.

What counts as literary fiction here?

Novels where the writing, the people and the shape of the thing matter as much as what happens. Plenty of crime, romance and fantasy qualifies. The label is a shelf, not a rank.

Will the picks all be literary fiction?

Yes. They come only from the literary shelf of our catalog, best known first and listed the same way whatever your answers. Our catalog doesn't record setting, tense or prose style yet, so the picks aren't matched to your lean.
