I've struggled to read any fiction for decades but finally managed to read Childhood's End by Arthur C Clarke.
The writing was clear and concise. I found the book focused on the things that interested me like the concepts and the characters. I tend to struggle with long descriptions of the setting and long sentences.
I gravitate towards stuff that feels like they're exploring big psychological or philosophical themes, usually through science fiction but I happy to get recommendations from other genres.
What other books do you think I'd like?
Edit: I should mention I'm looking for books by other authors!

Have you read his short stories? I’m not a big short story guy but that’s where he shines IMO.
Asimov’s Robot stuff might interest you.
Check out _Ender’s Game_ if you haven’t already read it. I would say it’s written at about a middle school level, but is very much exploring big ideas.
Flowers for Algernon by Daniel Keyes
