Hello everyone. My first language is Arabic and I’ve been reading fiction and non-fiction books in Arabic for a long time but as a way of improving my English I started reading books in English last year, and in addition of the learning and improving goal, I started to really enjoy reading them. So I’m looking for suggestions.
I’ve been reading from my wife’s books and depending entirely on her suggestions, so here’s what I’ve read:
My Year of Rest and Relaxation, I loved this book and found it really interesting and inspiring.
Project Hail Mary, top-notch. it was perfect and I’m really anticipating the movie.
Pet Sematary, it was interesting, I enjoyed reading it, but I also found it to be heavy on some parts and the language used in it was sometimes difficult for me, while the other books were easier for me and I understood almost everything in the books without the need of using a translator.
Recursion, I finished it yesterday and absolutely loved it. I always love a good story about time-traveling.
Station Eleven, I’ve only started reading it today, and I’m finding the language so poetic and fun to read and I can’t wait to read more of it.
I’m looking for more suggestions on novels written in English (preferably by American authors from the last 20 years), and the genres to be sci-fi/thriller/fantasy/ and honestly any good book with inspiring and interesting story.
A good story about aliens (not horror) on earth would be really interesting too.
I also would love to get suggestions for novels with calming stories but also inspiring like My Year of Rest and Relaxation.
TL;DR I started reading novels written in English to improve my English, and I’m really enjoying them, and looking for suggestions in sci-fi/thriller or any good novel with interesting/moving story.

Why the preference for American authors specifically?
