„Literatura piękna” to jedna z najszerszych kategorii, głównie ze względu na to, że jej granice są bardzo niewyraźne. Książki w tej kategorii często znajdują się na styku kilku gatunków, w wielu powieściach autorzy bawią się formą, eksperymentują z wykorzystywaniem różnych stylów literackich. Za jeden z najbardziej wyrazistych polskich przykładów można uznać prozę Andrzeja Stasiuka, która ma w sobie elementy autobiografii, reportażu, eseju i opowieści na granicy snu i jawy, a czasem nawet poezji. Kategoria „Literatura piękna” zawiera w sobie dzieła najwybitniejszych pisarzy wyróżnionych prestiżowymi nagrodami międzynarodowymi – Noblem, Pulitzerem, nagrodą Goncourtów czy Man Booker Prize ‒ oraz polskimi – Literacką Nagrodą Nike, Nagrodą Kościelskich, Angelusem, Literacką Nagrodą Gdynia, Paszportem „Polityki”. W tej kategorii znajdują się dzieła zarówno klasyków literatury, jak i pisarzy współczesnych oraz młodego pokolenia. Dlatego obok takich nazwisk jak Aleksander Dumas („Trzej muszkieterowie”, „Hrabia Monte Christo”), Fiodor Dostojewski („Idiota”, „Zbrodnia i kara”), Edgar Allan Poe, Marcel Proust („W stronę Swanna”), Charles Dickens („Oliver Twist”) znajdują się Łukasz Orbitowski („Tracę ciepło”), Wojciech Kuczok („Czarna”, „Gnój”), Eleanor Catton („Wszystko, co lśni”) czy Lauren Groff („Fatum i furia”). W tej kategorii znajdą coś dla siebie zarówno kobiety, jak i mężczyźni, ludzie w podeszłym, średnim i młodym wieku. „Literatura piękna” oferuje nie tylko rozrywkę, ale również możliwość poznania innych, często bardzo odległych kultur. W wielu powieściach zaciera się granica między realizmem a fikcją, a jednym z najciekawszych nurtów z pogranicza świata materialnego i metafizycznego jest realizm magiczny, którego przedstawiciele należą do najważniejszych współczesnych pisarzy (Olga Tokarczuk, Haruki Murakami, Salman Rushdie, Jorge Luis Borges).
