I’m currently considering getting Dune, Hitchhiker’s Guide To The Galaxy, Foundation series, or The Lord of the Rings, though it helps to have a wide range of suggestions to look into. If y’all know of more novels or authors I should check out, let me know!

{{Leviathan Wakes by James S.A. Corey}}, really pushing that page limit though.

Some of my favorites that aren’t classics (yet) are The Hyperion Cantos, The Zones of Thought series, The Bobiverse Series.
Player of Games and Consider Phlebas, both by Iain M. Banks
The Gormenghast Trilogy
The Left Hand of Darkness
The King of Elfland’s Daughter
The Worm Ouroboros (Disclaimer: moderately difficult read)
So many great recs in here already, so I’ll throw in some more that I like.
* *The Once and Future King* by TH White – King Arthur story, told with heartbreaking pathos and delightful whimsy
* *The Last Unicorn* by Peter S Beagle – just so god damned good. Magical.
* *A Wizard of Earthsea* by Ursula K LeGuin – feels fresh and exciting even after 50-odd years
* *The Golden Compass* by Philip Pullman – Maybe my favorite fantasy setting ever. Got steampunk?
* *Berserk* by Kentaro Miura – this one is a manga series, and **not** for the faint of heart, but for my money it’s one of the best stories put to paper.
