The farmers and soldiers of Europe create wealth for their kings and lords, who then send it all to the Great Ming. The Great Ming had never meddled in the affairs of Europe or the New World.

Welcome, fellow readers! Here's the information I can share for now: "World-class below the neck" is a joke describing athletes with strong bodies but simple minds. Since this list mainly introduces works that aren't "top-tier," they're also "below the neck." The idea of recommending excellent books is also close to the meaning of "world-class," hence the title.

A Little Divination Says: Great Books Ahead!
My bookshelf has always been a bit unconventional. So the books I recommend are mostly ones I personally enjoyed. They're all over the place genre-wise. If a book has something distinctive about it, I'll add it. Take game novels, for example. Though they may be about games, they've grown into worlds of their own.

Tales of the Strange
Mostly supernatural fiction, like fantasy and dark fairy tales. There are quite a few obscure novels here. I have pretty particular tastes, but I'll recommend books I think are well-written and better than average. I can be picky, so don't be surprised if I drop a book. The list has limited space, so I'll add and remove books as needed.
