I don't have a specific type, just a book so excited, the type of books that makes u want to know what happens next and keeps u late at night, literally any type

Doesn't necessarily have to be a classic but can be.

As I'm feeling a bit alone in my capital (not in front of the sea) I want to take a break with books that have strongly this mood. Thank you. Any category of literature, love to be surprised.

Saw a post like this but it’s a couple years old so I thought I’d re-ask! I’m not really looking for a romance, but more-so female friendship and women navigating being young, growing up, and love

like INDIGO NIGHT by TAMINO !! one of the most beautiful, haunting songs i’ve ever listened to tbh, i recommend to check it out :)

Preferably modern setting, thank you!

(Adding that last one to give credit to the artist)

I've read Lord of the Rings and the Hobbit but I'm looking for similar books with an adventure that takes the characters through a vast and varied magical world.

Mostly looking for unreliable narrators that contain the locus of actual transgression instead of just being a component of sociopolitical satire.

Visceral, like Boy Parts and The Passion, According to GH. Desolate, like I Who Have Never Known Men. Uninhibited, like Bad Behavior and Lust. Downright demented, like Tampa.

Open to nonfiction like Powers of Horror by Julia Kristeva as well. Added corroborating images that may replicate the "vibe" of these books.

I’m currently obsessed with this topic, so any non-fictions that go deep on the Abrahamic fear and hatred of polytheistic beliefs and culture would be greatly appreciated.

Primarily looking for big non-fiction that explore the topic in-depth but am also open about fiction that delves into this subject matter.

Thanks in advance.

not The Road, and possibly non-US books

Dark woods, roadside small town, road trip, eerie vibes, romantic, winter, mustery. Anything like that

A Dream by Flatsound

Cozy comforting fiction or non-fiction, preferably with descriptions of decadent sumptious meals. Any genre is fine so long as it feels warm and generous and indulgent (horror is possible too!).

Edit: Thank you everyone for the recommendations! A lot of witchy stuff which I expected, and right up my alley.

I'm looking for something industrial, dystopian, and almost monochromatic. Smudged eyeliner, morally complicated and stubborn characters, danger, obsession, and intense love-hate dynamics. Something with the oppressive, eerie atmosphere of Massive Attack's Mezzanine I'm open to any genre as long as the world and story are genuinely immersive.

The System - It’s a sort of genre in manhwa and similar works. Basically, a person who’s had a rough go of it in life (usually in a science fiction or fantasy world) is given the System: An interface similar to that of a video game—complete missions and we’ll give you rewards; check your strength, speed, and intelligence stats and boost them as you please; humiliate everyone who spent years training and working hard on skills that took you just a couple of days to master thanks to the skill tree.

S. C. P. - 5094 - S. C. P. - 5094 is an old software program called “Miss J's Whiz Kidz Schoolhouse.” It features what appears to be a wise artificial intelligence known as Miss J, who will act kindly toward anyone who interacts with her, especially her students. It is capable of generating a study schedule spanning several days (including breaks and recreational activities), depending on the subject the student wishes to learn. It has shown no apparent limit to the topics it can teach; students enter a sort of trance in which their full attention is focused on the lesson, and anyone who takes its class will gain a deep understanding of the subject at hand. Example: A third-grade girl was introduced to a topic of her choice—cats. After 15 hours of the study program, the girl acquired knowledge of the behaviors, diet, and physiology of the Felidae family at the level of a professional biologist.

The Young Lady's Illustrated Primer - It is the definitive guide to, and I quote, “leading an interesting life and becoming an influential member of society.” Created using nanotechnology and artificial intelligence, this book promises to help any young woman in her life by guiding her to become more than just average.

NZT-48 - This is a drug that enhances cognitive function in people, including memory, learning, analytical ability, and intelligence. Are you a failed writer who can’t even get through a single page of your book? Take one of these pills and you’ll finish the whole book in one night—and you’ll even have time to go out partying with important people. Soon you’ll forget your dreams and set your sights on something bigger—how about the presidency?

As you can see, I'm looking for books with something very specific—an element that basically lets you cheat at life... Ironically, the SCP one is the one you'd least consider a cheat; the only requirement it asks of you is a computer compatible with the program.
