[QUOTE="Hobbit, post: 49160, member: 31"] Depends what you mean by "mass market" - it could mean a whole range of things. Maybe my tastes are more "obscure" but lately [I]No Longer Human [/I]by Osamu Dazai has gained some notoriety because of Pewdiepie and BookTok. (I liked it before it was popular :pepeok:). It's one of the best classics ever written. I guess there's also other books that are widely available like Mary Shelley's [I]Frankenstein[/I]. That's a great novel. That fits your science fiction request. Also basically the entire bibliography of H.G. Wells, J.R.R. Tolkien (don't watch the Amazon Prime show, I don't consider it canon), even to some extent J.K. Rowling's [I]Harry Potter[/I]. Lemony Snicket's [I]A Series of Unfortunate Events [/I]fits that vibe well, too. Non-propagandist, no pornography, just a fun, long adventure. I really do not know if you'd consider many of these "mass market" but they are widely available. If you're looking on the Kindle store - don't, period. Coming from someone who's had relative success on Kindle via my own publishing. 99% of Kindle books are smut and generally poorly-written. [/QUOTE]
