athenas_owl's "Stacks: Jewish Literature"My own continuing list of Jewish literature that I love and would like to read. "Jewish literature" can mean several different things: This list hopes to include all these different forms, as all are valuable, as well as different genres, such as fiction, theology, memoirs, historical, poetry, the Holocaust, Jewish feminism, Israel and so on. Any recommendations are greatly appreciated! |
