What are the best fictional books you’ve ever read?

saayoutloud@lemmy.world to Ask Lemmy@lemmy.world – 134 points –

I started reading last year, mostly productivity stuff, but now I’m really looking to jump into fiction to unwind after a long week of uni, studying, and work. I need something to help me relax during the weekends without feeling like I’m working.

I’d love some recommendations for books that are short enough to finish in a day but still hit hard and are totally worth it. No specific genre preferences right now. I'm open to whatever. Looking forward to seeing what you guys suggest. Thank you very much in advance.

I'll get these books because lots of people upvoted your comment, which makes me assume that they're worth reading. Is there any specific order that I need to follow books of this specific author?

I would start with The Color of Magic, I'm currently reading them in chronological order of release, but certain books cover certain main characters. Small Gods is probably another great place to start. But if you want a more instructive set of reading directions:

Most people prefer sub series.
