Love it! There’s so much at the moment about not having genres but if we are to have genres, and they do help, more specifics would make it easier.

Loved your article! Yes please more subgenres! it would make it so much easier to find clifi, or time travel stories or stories with animals that don’t die horrible deaths.

In reply to Jenny @ Reading the End. It would! I don't know if/when I'll actually write it. Possibly when I'm in a stretch where I haven't been finishing that many books.

In reply to Lory@Emerald City Book Review. Yes! Hopefully they'll let me come back and do more posts in future, cause this one was fun!

In reply to Kristen M.. Oh my gosh, Kristen, I can't believe I didn't even think about the way nonfiction breaks down by time and region. Or maybe I did, and just didn't end up writing about it in the post? That's what I'll tell myself, anyway. :p

In reply to CoolCurry. Oh, that sounds great! Hopefully your urban fantasy post would include some recs? Cause that is a subgenre that I really haven't spent a lot of time exploring so far!

Interesting post! I don’t read enough literary (or “general”) fiction to know much about it and subgenres, but with SFF sometimes it seems like there’s a lack of consensus on what a certain term means and what books qualify. I wrote an entire post about that and “epic fantasy” and I’m contemplating doing a similar one with “urban fantasy.”

I had the beginnings of this thought just the other day when I was at my local indie in the non-fiction section and was looking for a used copy of a specific history book and it was very easy to find because they break history down into very specific shelves both by time and region. And yet fiction? Four big blobs – general, SFF, romance, and mystery. I will now go mumble “yes!” and nod my head as I read your post!
