In this list, please include books by diverse authors that you think are the best there is. They can be classics, bestsellers, or lesser-known books. By "diverse authors" I'm referring specifically to people of color and those of ethnic minorities, so, generally, this will mean non-Caucasian.

This list is intended to be a tool for people who are looking to diversify their reading lists, so do not hesitate to include a range of genres. (Please however, try not to include manga as it is almost exclusively written by Asian authors.)

And don't forget friends, we are talking about the authors of the books, not their protagonists, thanks!
