Get a Reading List for a Genre You Want to Explore

Getting into a new genre is easier with a guided reading list than a ranked list of classics that starts with the most intimidating book. This gives you five books that lead from accessible to ambitious, picks the best entry points rather than the most famous, and tells you what makes each one distinctive within the genre.

I want to read more in the {GENRE} genre. I have not read much in this space before, but I enjoyed {EXISTING_FAVOURITES}: [name one to two books or authors from any genre]. Give me a reading list of five books that would be a good introduction to {GENRE}: start with the most accessible and build to the most ambitious. For each book, tell me what it does that is distinctive within the genre and why it is a good first or second read. Avoid the obvious choices if there are better starting points.
