Books by Horoscope

Rats are ruled by the Yin and Water elements in traditional Chinese astrology. This means that when it comes to literature, they love a good historical romance or murder mystery. Since Rats love to travel, a story set in an exotic locale is of particular interest, as are coffee-table books with glossy photographs of far away places.

Novels by authors such as Agatha Christie, Rita Mae Brown or Mary Stuart appeal to these people, as Rats love misty settings in medieval times and stories about the royal family. They love to sit on a train or by a pool and work through an intricate plot by James Michener or Gore Vidal. These profound thinkers are also fans of classics by Victor Hugo, Jane Austin and Charles Dickens.
