Copyright photographer, Eastlit and Graham Lawrence.These are the new lists of best read Asian literature found in Eastlit. Unfortunately time means these are getting later and later. Sorry for that. Eastlit includes all the best read Asian fiction, poetry, artwork and non-fiction of the most recent seven and thirty days. Eastlit’s all time list of best read Asian literature has also been updated. Due to popular request, we continue to provide direct links to each piece in our lists.

All of this bets read Asian literature and artwork can be read from the links on this page or just make use of the links in the top menu. Eastlit’s archive can be used for navigation, too. Hopefully it will also give you an opportunity to read some of the less read pieces. After all, we all know well read does not always mean the best!

The next issue of Eastlit will be out around the end of March or start of April.

Please note that we have a policy of excluding all the covers, content pages, contributor lists etc from these statistics.
