Can anybody reccomend me books from famous authors that aren’t problematic? Doesn’t matter if it’s the most famous book in the world, i just need some reccomendations.
Brandon Sanderson and Patrick Rothfuss don’t have any problems as far as I know

What does “problematic” mean?

Could you explain where you’re drawing the line on problematic?

Try a book about how to start thinking for yourself.

Stephen King, now. He had some problems in the 80s but he’s downright supportive now on social media. Ignore the 80s. Heck, the man was nearly killed by a bad driver and the meanest thing he posts is about his dog, Molly, “The Thing of Evil.” (Spoiler, she’s not.)

Pratchett is great. he only grew with the years

Hank and John Green are both excellent authors and have together done a lot of stuff, including:
Starting an educational media company that offers everything for free, as well as online university courses that gives real credit
Starting a charity organisation that has brought in millions for a variety of causes, as well as donating and cooperating with other charities and organisations. They are very big believers that long-term, systemic investment is only way to bring about sustained change. For example, they have done a lot of work in improving maternal care in Sierra Leone in a way that also provides more jobs, and better financial stability for the people there.
John is also very big on tuberculosis and has for many years done a number of projects and events to bring more awareness to the disease, as well as making diagnosis and treatment more accessible in the countries where it’s most needed.
Hank is doing a lot of focus on combatting misinformation on the internet, and explaining complicated things related to science and physics in a more accessible way.
There’s a lot more to mention, too, and generally they do a lot of work for social, financial, and ecological sustainability. Their books—both fiction and nonfiction — are all pretty great too!
I would especially recommend an Absolutely Remarkable Thing by Hank Green, and The Anthropocene Reviewed by John Green!

This depends entirely on who is defining “problematic”
