There are loads of great books available which covers a large number of styles and niches. With varying interests, this is a must as some enjoy a great romance, while others want a good horror story and others specifically look for novels by African American authors.

Now these novels are no different in that there is a large variety available based on the type of story you enjoy. There are lists online that can easily be accessed that gives a breakdown of the author, their primary style and the best book to start with. This takes all the guesswork out of trying to decide which book to read.

As mentioned earlier, there are lists of African American authors. These exist specifically to help those wanting a bit of assistance in determining what they would be interested in. Some of the lists are quite extensive and include pretty much all styles of writing whether it is sci-fi, romance, horror, or mystery to name a few.

Many of these lists include information on both well known authors as well authors that are accomplished by lesser known. Some might recognize Maya Angelou's name or Frederick Douglass from years of exposure, or the name Thomas Sowell or perhaps Alice Walker. There are other lesser known authors that are listed for the well read novels they have penned and that should be further explored. With a little research one is sure to find a great fit.

Some readers enjoy finding out about the author and their life so they have a sense of who they are. If they feel a connection, they try their writing and will often stick with a particular author enjoying all of their work.

Many assume the offerings from African American writers are limited to urban stories, poetry, or historical writings. However, the literature penned by African Americans cover a variety of styles making he assumption a myth. There are well written horror stories, romance novels, or stories emphasizing history. Whatever the preference, something is offered.

If this is the case, one can find books written by African Americans that have been on best seller lists at various times. Again, this type of information is also found online quickly if this is of interest.

We would be remiss not to mention books by African American authors that have been turned into movies. There is quite a long list with some being quite well known. Several of the most widely known include Roots and the Color Purple with the later being a successful Broadway show in addition to being a movie. These are just a tip of the iceberg.
