What are the sources for finding books that list contemporary fiction?

Yes, Librivox is very reliable. It has a vast catalog of free audiobooks of all kinds, including contemporary fiction. The recordings are of good quality considering they are made by volunteers who are passionate about literature.

Sure. 'The Overstory' by Richard Powers is one. It's a novel that gives a voice to trees and nature, exploring our relationship with the environment. 'Lincoln in the Bardo' by George Saunders is also great. It has a unique narrative structure and delves into themes of death and mourning. And 'Homegoing' by Yaa Gyasi is among the best, which traces the stories of two half - sisters across generations and continents.

Well, some literary magazines also list contemporary fiction. Magazines such as 'The Paris Review' sometimes feature reviews and lists of contemporary novels. Additionally, libraries often have sections dedicated to contemporary fiction and may have staff - created lists. You can also check out online book communities where members share their own lists of favorite contemporary fiction books.

No, fiction books aren't primary sources. Primary sources provide original, first-hand evidence or information. Fiction is made-up, often for entertainment or to convey a message through a fictional narrative.

One of the most popular is 'Harry Potter' series which, although it has elements of fantasy, is also a contemporary phenomenon. It has a huge fan base all over the world.

Composer communities are often overlooked. Websites like VGMusic are communities where composers share their work. There are often tracks available that are specifically composed with the mood and style suitable for visual novels.

Books are great sources. Classic literature is full of memorable short quotes. For example, Shakespeare's works have numerous short but powerful lines that can be used. 'All the world's a stage' can be used in a story about different stages of life or the performative nature of society.

The local library is an excellent source. You can access a large number of fiction books for free just by borrowing them. Online, Open Library is great. It's like a digital library where you can borrow free e - books, including fiction. Also, Smashwords has a section for free e - books, and there are quite a few good fiction titles there.

Non-fiction books can be primary sources. For example, a memoir written by someone who experienced an event firsthand is a primary source. But if a book merely compiles and analyzes information from other primary sources, it may be considered secondary.

Well, some of the top contemporary fiction books include 'Pride and Prejudice' by Jane Austen. Although it was written a while ago, it has had a huge influence on contemporary literature with its portrayal of love and social class. 'The Catcher in the Rye' by J.D. Salinger is also very popular. It delves into the mind of a disillusioned teenager. And 'The Lord of the Rings' by J.R.R. Tolkien is a masterpiece of modern fantasy that has inspired countless other works in the genre.
