Alice in Wonderland probably has the most anime references of all books.
Bungaku Shoujo made me want to read a lot of literature.
I ended up just reading more LNs.
The Japs have a boner for Lovecraft.
The bird fights its way out of the egg.
The egg is the world.
Who would be born first must destroy a world.
The bird flies to God.
That God's name is Abraxas.
Thread's doing a little better second time around.
I'll leave off Romance of the Three Kingdoms.
That anonymous;code VN by the Steins;Gate author remind me a lot to this short story

Is Aoi Bungaku any good?
So what books (obviously no LN or manga) did you guys read because of anime?
For me: Genji monogatari, pillow book, alice in wonderland, diary of anne frank (and I would love to read Shin Sekai Yori but I can't into moon).

What does this have to do with animu?

Fate series got me back into Arthurian stuff and made me read the Epic of Gilgamesh.

There are two Anne Frank anime movies, one of which I watched as a teenager. I liked it and decided to read the book.
I kinda want to read Alice in Wonderland but I know I'm going to miss some jokes and references because English isn't my native language.
