I think it's workable, but I'm not married to the idea.
I can see your point here and might like to make the author list eventually, though it seems kind of similar to the icons list. I think we can treat novellas and some collected works as books. Technically, Poe did have a collection and a novel published. Tales of the Grotesque and Arabesque and The Narrative of Arthur Gordon Pym of Nantucket.
