Anything written since like 1970? Preferably written in the last 10-20 years?
Looking for the best writing and composition and prose that really wowed you. I feel like the brain rot has made it to literature and I am looking to read some books that are actually GOOD, well composed, thoughtful, deep, etc. I believe there is a time and place for low thought books (that are just simple, good fun) and I don't think they are definitionally worse or lack value, just not the vibe I am seeking right now.
Doesn't have to be super popular/classics.
