Psychological Novels Making A Name For Itself

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.

What you will really like is a variety of choices you can have in this genre. There are books that date back as far as the 12th century, 17th century and contemporary ones from 19th century writers. With that many selections you will surely enjoy reading through several books for a long time.

On record, the earliest found book was written by Murasaki Shikibu. This author from Japan is believed to be from the 12th century. The title of the novel is The Tale of Genji. It is basically about the son of Japan's emperor and his experience as he went down to lower classes of society to learn about human behavior.

One famous novel of this genre is written by Miguel de Cervantes. The book is called Don Quixote. This tells about the ambitious and amusing quest of the delusional elderly Don for glory. His relationship with his sidekick Sancho Panza is what really draws interest among readers.

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.

If you think these types of books are rare and hard to find, you are greatly mistaken. There is now a separate category for psychological novels. Manuscripts that came in earlier years were re-categorized. The internet would be of great help for you to get some interesting titles. You can also ask around local bookshops near you for their latest releases.
