The variety of available books are quite wide and encompasses many niches. Some prefer reading mysteries, others like suspense or romance novels, still others prefer novels by African American authors.

Actually books penned by African American authors are no different than the many others as they provide many options for the enjoyment of the reader. If you are not sure where to start, lists can be accessed which provides the public with information about the author listed, their style, as well as which book they suggest you read of that authors first. This information helps the reader narrow their search quickly and reduces the guesswork.

The lists make it quite simple and quick to figure out what one might be interested in. There are extensive lists available on African American authors. One can quickly determine there is something that would appeal to everyone as the styles run the gamut.

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.

There are many readers that prefer to feel as they know the author and put in research on this individual before actually reading their books. Once they find out about the author and feel somewhat of a connection they will then read most if not all of their work. If this is important, then finding information about the author is generally quite easy online.

Available literature written by African Americans run the gamut. Many assume that the only thing available from African American authors is historical, poetry, or urban stories. This is obviously a myth as there is something for everyone. For those preferring something light and sensual, a good romance is easy to find by one of the well written authors.
