    Hello! I've really been searching for a book to hook me back into reading. Usually what gets me out of a slump is a suuuuper fascinating premise—the weirder the better, really.

    Here are the following litfic books I chose to read based on the premise alone and loved:

    Piranesi by Susanna Clarke
    Wool by Hugh Howey
    I Who Have Never Known Men by Jacqueline Harpman
    Parable of the Sower by Octavia E. Butler
    Beloved by Toni Morrison
    Annihilation by Jeff Vandermeer

    As you can tell I am drawn towards surrealist/scifi/magical realism books but I'm open minded and would appreciate any recs with interesting hooks! Thank you!!
