Students often ask those of us who work in the
library at Notre Dame for books they can read just for fun. It's not an
easy question because, although we have loads of novels, they're arranged
by call number rather than by genre. This site is an attempt to respond
to that request by listing popular authors whose works we know are in the
Hesburgh Library. We've listed some of them by genres including Mysteries,
Science Fiction/Fantasy, Historical Fiction, Adventure/War/Westerns, and
Short Stories. We've also identified some Catholic authors. In some cases
we've listed titles that you will recognize, including some that were made
into movies. These lists are in no way intended to be either prescriptive
or comprehensive.
Questions, comments, suggestions? If you have a favorite author you'd like to see added to the list, let us know; but remember we're just listing authors whose works are in our collection. If you want us to post your comments about a book you've read, please let us know that too. For a wide-ranging discussion of modern novels see "Books to Nourish One's Soul and Broaden One's Horizons" by President-Emeritus Father Edward Malloy; or take a look at the "Recommended Summer Reading List" for Notre Dame students. Composed by Laura Fuderer, Margaret Porter, and Cheri Smith. |
