Good evening, lovely internet people.
So, obviously I need a book recomendation. I have the itch to go on a full biography to get it tailor made… But i don't want to bore you so I'd rather summarize:
I'm 36 yo and I've read all my life since I was taught how to do it.
I have a degree on literature so I'm snobish about what I read.
I read a lot of phylosophy so, again, I'm snobish about what I read.
I'm on a slump of a magnitude I've never been. I think I'm burned out (at least I feel really apathetic, bored and dishearthened).
I recently read "The poppy war trilogy" and while I found it entertaining and well written, it's of a genre or demographic cleraly not for me anymore, so I'm really not very interested in YA right now.
So… I'm looking for some science fiction or fantasy series that is on a weird place between the dept of a modern classic (maybe something alike Sartre, Mann or Hesse) and a beautiful entertainment jewel like Ursula K. Lewin's or Frank Herbert's books. (I know… I'm snobish about what I read).
So any help will be excedingly appreciated.
Thank you in advance to anyone who takes the time to reply 🙂
Sorry for the format of the post… I have no idea how to properly do it 🙁

have you read a wild sheep chase by haruki murakami, thats one of my favorites and his other works are amazing i think hes a perfect read for a burnt out snob
Harpman’s “I who have never known men” is a profound and very literary existential novel set in some kind of future. China Miéville’s short novel “This Census-Taker” is a curious fable. N. K. Jemisin’s “Broken Earth” trilogy was rewarding.
