Can you recommend a book for me please? - Lemmy.World

I’ve basically been ordered to pick up any fiction book and read, after a friend discovered I’ve not read anything but non-fiction for a decade. The ones I’ve enjoyed in the past have been short, fantastical or sci-fi (think Aldous Huxley, Ian McEwan), but crucially with amazing first person descriptive prose - the kind where you’re immersed in the writing so much you’re almost there with the character. I liked sci-fi as the world’s constraints weren’t always predictable. Hope that makes sense. Any recommendations?

The Kite Runner (beautiful) The Stand (incredible character development) Hitchhiker’s Guide to the Galaxy (hilarious)
Heads up on The Stand. It’s a huge book. A good one but huge.
