Tweedledum  (tweedledum) | 2166 comments I've been trying to read more of certain categories of books for a few years and cataloging them on paper so my headings are:

Art/music/theatre

Autism/aspergers/disability/psychology

Biography/autobiography

Children's lit

Classics (dead famous)

Fairy stories/mythology/folk tales

Fantasy/ Sci fi


Feminist perspectives/women's literature e.g. Collections


Fictional Crime/thriller/mystery

French reads


General fiction


History


Historical fiction

Humour


Miscellaneous and googlies.


Natural history and science/medicine

Poetry

Short stories

Spirituality/theology/

Travel new and old

I make that 20 categories- a nice round number . I know I won't read one in each category a month but will have one of each on the go each month. Always prefer fiction over everything else but have been quite generous to myself as there are several fiction categories .

Making the actual list will have to wait for a holiday!

Pink Great choice of categories and a good way to make sure that you read diversely each month. I'd also like to read more feminist works, as well as mythology, poetry, history, science, theology......the list goes on! Good luck :)
