They are guaranteed good reading, but they do not include anything above a PG rating, for readers who do not like fiction of a mature erotic nature. These are NOT necessarily better than the “dump” below them. Then enjoy my pick of twenty-five more that are still enjoyable, even if they’re no longer current, for fans who want to read more. Fangs of K’aath arguably the first “furry” novel. Jonathan Livingston Seagull - a mainstream cult classic in the 1970s, and still one of the best “Feel Good” furry novels. Tailchaser’s Song was the first adult talking-animal fantasy to feature cats. Watership Down was the first adult talking animal fantasy to present a species having its own language and religion. Sirius was the first serious intelligent animal novel for adults.

These ten books are all great reading, and all are important for one reason or another. Okay, one is edited by me, but it’s the first anthology of furry fiction not just stories written to fill a book, but the best stories from the first fifteen years of all the furry magazines, 1987 to 2002. So here are several sections as a compromise.įirst, enjoy my pick of Ten Furry Classics that everyone should read. On the other, I realize that an info dump of 1,000 or more reviews of furry books will turn off the vast majority of fans and never be read. On one hand, I don’t want my reviews to become forgotten.

I have been reviewing furry fiction since 1962, for fanzines and online sites. How many people remember New Coyote by Michael Bergey today? - but it’s still an excellent novel. Otherwise, what’s a hot title this year will become forgotten in a few years. There are a very few books like Animal Farm by George Orwell and Watership Down by Richard Adams that will always remain classics. Okay - but that’s a constantly changing situation.

Patch has been urging me to make a list of my furry book reviews for fans who want recommendations of what’s worth reading.
