Psych Buffs Have So Many Choices For Psychological Novels

By Agnes Franco


If you are an avid reader and happen to be interested in the subject of psychology then you are in luck. Both your interests can be met in one way, and that is through psychological novels. This way your intellectual faculties will really be tickled. You are in a situation where two separate interests are rolled into one.

Selections for these particular kind dates from contemporary writers, early 19th century authors, to way back 12th century manuscripts. That is how long it has been around. This virtually gives you a whole library of books you can get your hands on.

Currently, the earliest literature of this category discovered belongs to medieval Japan. The book is called The Tale of Genji by Murasaki Shikibu. The storyline is about the heir to Japan's throne and his discovery about man's way of thinking and human spirit as he goes down the social group system.

The name of Don Quixote would certainly ring a bell. Many people are familiar with this fictional tale by Miguel de Cervantes. The plot of the story is about the unconventional Don and his companion Sancho Panza who is also his neighbor. The book focuses on chivalry and the psychology behind it.

Fight Club by Chuck Palahniuk was released in 1996 but was later made into a Hollywood movie. This is deeper psychological read that would make anyone's mind wonder. Another reason that made the movie adaptation successful is the star power it had. It featured Edward Norton and Brad Pitt as main characters.

psychological novels have created a category for itself and the selection just keeps growing. Folks inclined with this topic have so many to choose from. Just a trip to the local bookshop can jumpstart you with your search. As always, the internet is always sure to give you some titles and let you place orders for hard to find books.
