Lists of Bests: athenas_owl's "Stacks: Jewish Literature" http://www.listsofbests.com/list/66165 My own continuing list of Jewish literature that I love and would like to read. "Jewish literature" can mean several different things: Literature written by a Jewish author Jewish literature written by any author Jewish literature written by a Jewish author 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! Not exhaustive, but I tried to include as many topics and genres as possible.
