Regarding Outlander, by Diana Gabaldon
“My Outlander Thing” by Gavin McNett is a great article about how Diana Gabaldon’s Outlander series defies genre pigeon-holing. While these books may not be everyone’s “cup of tea”, don’t disregard them simply because some publisher/bookstore decided to label them romantic fiction. It is a fiction book with its fair share of romance to be sure, but there is so much more.

I agree! I love the books and have recommended them to so many people. They are really hard to describe and I end up saying, “Just read ’em!”

I just started my eleventh read through the series. Each reading I discover something new–something I missed the first ten times around.

I love the Gabaldon books! I thought the article you link to was very interesting because i had never thought of her writing that way – and funnily enough the books he mentions about Mary Renault, I also liked so… So wish she’d write more..
