What are the best fictional books you’ve ever read?
I started reading last year, mostly productivity stuff, but now I’m really looking to jump into fiction to unwind after a long week of uni, studying, and work. I need something to help me relax during the weekends without feeling like I’m working.
I’d love some recommendations for books that are short enough to finish in a day but still hit hard and are totally worth it. No specific genre preferences right now. I'm open to whatever. Looking forward to seeing what you guys suggest. Thank you very much in advance.

The Locked Tomb series is refreshing. It’s weird, it’s fun, it’s dark, and it’s trash, but it’s trash that the author is having fun with.
Discworld is also just amazing
Each of the novels is more detached than the last - it's great but probably not for someone just starting their journey into fiction
Fair, I’d probably recommend starting with some Sanderson and discussions of his theming and subtler meanings. Once you’re breaking down symbolism in Stormlight as you read it then you may be ready for Professor Muir throwing mean girl’s references into stressful scenes before making you feel like you lost your mind in between trips to the dictionary. But she breaks your mind in such a satisfying way.
