I've removed the bizzare redirect from Talk:List of fictional books. You might want to move any relevant discussion text over to that talk page, and keep this one for discussing Fictional book -- Colin°Talk 08:18, 11 November 2006 (UTC)

text: Almost two decades on, there is no list of fictitious books. And so such non-existent works as Principles of Successful Termination by Guy McMaster, Chitham's Fundamentals of Murder, Dorando's Tredici Passi Da Evitare  are non-existent in Wikipedia. Kdammers (talk) 18:01, 24 May 2024 (UTC)

replies: text: I don't want to seem too Arkhamcentric, but I can't think of another fictional book in literature that's as widely used in stories or written about. --Cecropia 18:47, 6 Apr 2004 (UTC)
thread_title:  Necronomicon 

message: I'd add it myself if I knew how, but you can find it by searching for the above title. I've seen it referenced in other comic books, not just the Charles Barks 'Duck' books (which were themselves popular to the point of being pop culture icons) I think it merits inclusion (but I don't know how to add a link) —The preceding unsigned comment was added by 24.158.117.144 (talk) 05:47, 22 January 2007 (UTC)

message: The term "fictional text," which redirects here, is used much more often to refer to a work a fiction rather than a non-existent text.  In fact, the only place I have seen the terms "fictional text" or "fictional book" having some other meaning is in this article.  Doing an advanced Google search for either term will produce similar results.  I feel the term "imaginary book" is much more suitable.  I'm also inclined to believe this can be inferred from the definition of fiction: a literary work based on the imagination and not necessarily on fact.  Here we see that fiction is not synonymous with imaginary or non-existent.  Yes, when the majority of literary critiques use the term otherwise, the term is too ambiguous, perhaps incorrect altogether. Also, please note that being an avid reader of Borges, I'm quite familiar with imaginary works of fiction, it's the primary reason I'm discussing this article.

replies: text: I have created a similar lemma at the German edition of wiki. I have called it FIKTIVES BUCH, which means FICTITIOUS BOOK. It certainly fits better than FICTIONAL. Then again, IMAGINARY might also be appropriate Jackcauffle (talk) 05:43, 30 November 2012 (UTC)
thread_title:  Term ambiguous, possibly incorrect 

message: As it stands I think this article has very little value, given that there is another called List of fictional books & various other specific lists as well. I propose a rewrite from the ground up (when I get round to it) along these lines:
*History
*Different media and genres
*Purposes
*Real world effects
Any other ideas welcome. Btljs (talk) 20:33, 3 September 2014 (UTC)
