50 Best Fiction Adventure Books | The Art of Manliness

 artofmanliness.com/2009/06/02/the-essential-man%E2...ction

I found this interesting article while looking up adventure fiction. It talks about some of the most important adventure books that a man should read in order to be a man. I must not be a real man yet.
I've read some of them, but I hadn't heard about a lot of them, but I'm pretty excited to look them up and read them. I want to read The Lost World and She. They all seem like good adventure books.

Adventure novel - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

 en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Adventure_novel

An interesting article about what an adventure novel is. It's only a paragraph long, so it's worth the two minutes

"Adventure novels take the setting and premise of these other genres, but the fast-paced plot of an adventure focuses on the actions of the hero within the setting."

This article doesn't necessarily talk about adventure fiction or treasure books, but it's a good article about how to write a novel written by a well-known writing agent who I follow

Post from Cameron Sutter, author at CHUM.LY

I was just reading a bit about adventure fiction and came across this interesting website. It's a little old (it references Spiderman coming out this summer ... and I'm assuming the first Spiderman movie), but it was interesting.

"Comic books, influenced by the pulp magazines, have played and continue to play an important role in stimulating interest in adventure fiction among children, teens, and adults."
