About a million years ago, when I actually had my own website, I put together a huge database of books about animals. The website is gone, but I still have all the scans of the book covers. This is a tiny, tiny portion of some of the covers. I personally own all but two of these. If I can, I'd like to put the database up again, to show furry fans there so very much more out there than Watership Down, Kyell Gold and Redwall.

It has been a while since fourth grade for me...
And yeah, if you look at it in the right light there is a pretty mature setting. On the surface it appears to be about stoats and weasels fighting each other, but it's technically having one race of supremacists ruling over several others with an iron fist.

I've read over a hundred mostly sf/f novels published by mainstream publishers (most of them before 2000) that would qualify as furry, and I don't recognize a single one of the titles or authors in this picture.
Various people over time have tried to compile and maintain lists of anthropomorphic novels. Dave Farrance's list was the primary one for a long time until he stopped updating it sometime in the early 2000s.

Much more than Redwall, Kyell Gold, and Watership Down..
RIchard Adams of Watership Down tends to be darker.. If you get the database back up I look forward to seeing it. I'd have to look to see what I have at home.. Sholan Alliance series comes to mind, along with the Spellsinger series

Ahh, Sholan alliance. :D
1. book. Wouldn't it be cool if my boyfriend would be 7 feet tall kitty, all muscles and claws, but also tender and loving?
How do you make a male tender and loving? Has to be telepathy, really, no other way will work on these dumb creatures.
Some book further. Most proper family is threesome. No exclusions.
Yet further book. All sentient races in Universe are deliberately genetically engineered, to screw each with other. Bug and shaggy pony races currently excluded from common fun, but absolutely no guarantees about future.
Somewhere in between. Really, those lizardy enemies are not completely evil. One can screw with those too. Especially if you are into BDSM.

Suggestion: Spellsinger Series by Alan Dean Foster.
Human Jonathan Thomas Meriweather from this world gets sucked into another, one filled with intelligent warm-bloods of varying species. Jon-tom, as he's come to be known, is aided by the giant otter Mudge as he figures out where he is and why he's there.
In a more conversational tone, Mudge is a completely perverted lecher, thief, scoundrel, and loves awful jokes.

Are any of these books/authors similar to Jack London? I wouldn't go far as to say London was a Furry writer, but I did rather enjoy his tales that gave a lot of human-reactions/perspectives through animals on humans. (Probably my favorite is White Fang, the reverse of Call of the Wild).
There are three books pictured in the style of Call of the Wild (animal POV, but no talking): Wolves of Paris, Whale and Faithful Ruslan.
Watership Down-style books (animals in a natural environment, but they talk): Marshworld, Nightworld, In the Long Dark, Rimshot.
Books that qualify as 'furry' (animals talk and wear clothes, or are the result of uplift, evolution or genetic engineering): Foxglove Hollow, Rememory.
Animals vs. man (like Jaws.): Caracal, The Flock.

Although I don't agree with all the choices on this list, this is pretty comprehensive:

Suggestions (anthro's books, not really talking animal):
Cat Karina. Michael G. Coney (Interestingly pictured felina female pride psychologies, IIRC, ending of book was just jammed.)
When we were real. William Barton. (quite a favorite of mine. What can be better than purple anthro female fox? Some scenes not for faint on heart.)
Also
Acts of Conscience. by Barton. (Way more not for kiddies and not for faint on heart. You might get squicked by certain angles there, consider yourself warned. Better not read.)
The Wanderer. Fritz Leiber. (Has a green , purple striped alien kitty anthro. And sex with her.)
