I just listened to The Cancelling of the American Mind which was pretty good.
Other recs off the top of my head:
Range by David Epstein
The Three Body Problem by Cixin Liu
Needful Things by Stephen King
Man's Search for Meaning by Viktor Frankl
The Alchemist by Paolo Coelho
Had a friend of mine recommend The Alchemist. Any good for a die hard fantasy guy?
Spinning Silver by Naomi Novik (I think) is like snowy Russian fantasy.
Then Lord of the rings, naturally.
The Hobbit
A Wizard of Earthsea 💯
A Natural History of Dragons is a light fantasy about a woman who likes dragons
Heaven Official's Blessing (Chinese fantasy, you can read it online or find the ebook on something like 1lib.sk since it was first translated by fans)
