300 books in 3 years and I "think" I figured which Fiction books I like:
1- Beautifully written
2- author has a philosophy, or has a philosophical view on life which shows in his characters.
3- human layers in characters.
4- good story.
This is for fiction, I have found 2 authors that have the 4 aspects in a novel (Naguib Mahfouz, Albert Camus).
And few authors, novels that would have 1+ , I can recall Gillian Flinn for beautiful story that is beautifully written, Dostoevsky for human layers, Hisham Matar, Khaled Husseini for beautiful story, beautifully written and human layers , I need to check my library I'm sure there is more, but you get my point.
So, suggest me some authors/books 😀

literally anything Kazuo Ishiguro (“Never Let Me Go”), Haruki Murakami (“Norwegian Wood”), Zadie Smith (“On Beauty”), or Donna Tartt (“The Secret History” or “Goldfinch” hello?) **always hits.**
