I think that people should just read whatever they want without being judged for it. If you want to read classics, or fanfiction, or YA fiction, go for it because it really doesn't matter at the end of the day. Just enjoy it really!!
books
omg anything by toni morrison! she was my favorite author in high school and i *ADORE* her books. i would probably recommend Sula or Jazz first and then read Song of Solomon. I love books that are mostly rooted in reality but have an occasional touch of the occult, spiritual, or just general trippiness. its so like deliciously creepy and unsettling but i love it. ESPECIALLY the way morrison uses it since its usually a critique or a reference of something in black history.
the only thing i read thats not on ao3 is horror books so all i can recommend you is the comic series lenore the cute little dead girl by roman dirge. i live laugh loved it in third/fourth grade & i reread a few of the books the other day and they hold up (isnt for children though)
i love reading so much, but I am convinced that no author knows how to write a woman <33
❤️DEBATE ME❤️
One of my new favorite books is Lakota Woman by Mary Crow Dog. She was a Native American activist and in AIM in the '70s. Her writing is phenomenal and an excellent autobiography. <3

station eleven is one of my favorites ! i read it once in high school and went back to it when the pandemic hit since it's centered around how art in many different forms persists in the face of tragedy and the ways is switches between character's points of views at different points of their lives to show just how they intersect tickles my brain :)
i'm so cringe but oh my god am i hot
I like reading biographies and autobiographies.

any bronte books but more specifically wuthering heights if u want some gothic romantic tragedy
currently reading the third book in the broken earth trilogy by NK Jeminson! the series as a whole is really cool- kinda an exploration on the consequences of like. societal hubris and then a society that is straight up based on pure, pure survival. the world it's set in is much more tectonically active than ours, so much so that society as a whole is built around preparing for months to even years without sunlight, ability to farm food, etc, and it really really is brutal in parts in a way that feels real and almost just resignation to tragedy the moment you're born. the writing style itself is also very interesting. The Fifth Season, the first book in the series, won a hugo as well. Definitely reccomend!
