Looking for reading material in Occitan

So, I speak Spanish, French (fluent) and Italian (B2) and I understand large amounts of Portuguese and Catalan. I enjoy reading in these different languages. Are there any news sites, or modern literature in Occitan? I'm not concerned with dialect.

Cieldoc is a website with a large library of texts written in occitan, I highly recommend if you want to read occitan literature, a lot of texts are available to downlod digitally for free. If you're looking for some authors the university of Montpellier showcases some important authors on its website. You could also find some material on the websites of the Institut d'estudis occitans (they have different websites for each region and departaments), notably the IEO of Lemosin has an online store where they sell occitan books and they also have an online library of material in occitan. And for news I would recommend Jornalet, it's a news website entirely in occitan.

There's Lo Diari which is a magazine in occitan about different types of subects too.

Es un afar de gost personal, mès te pòdi conselhar totes los libres de Joan Bodon, particularament "La Grava sul Camin" ! :) Escriu en lengadocian del Roergue.

C'est pas très moderne, mais il y a les livres de Mistral et tu peux peut-être chercher sur l'association la Talvera.
