September 21, 1937 The Hobbit was first published. Even if you don't read fantasy I will still recommend this book. It is a stand alone book as well as being the prequel to The Lord of the Rings trilogy.
I love science fiction and fantasy but realize it's not for everyone. Just would like to point out that there are a lot of classic books by great authors like Jules Verne. Journey to the Center of the Earth is wonderful as well as 20,000 Leagues Under the Sea and so many others
Mark Twain also contributed. A Connecticut Yankee In King Arthur's Court and The Diary of Adam and Eve are remarkable.
