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?

I can’t believe that **Hitchhiker’s guide to the gallaxy **isn’t mentioned yet!

Its more of a funny story set in the future but its a classic, and its well worth reading (all 4 books of the trillogy)

  • Six books in the trilogy, if you include And Another Thing by Eoin Colfer (of Atemis Fowl fame)
