Can I get some fun book recs? Books you loved or that had you on the edge of your seat or that spark joy in you when you think back to the first time you read them. Just absolute homerun bangers?

Kafka On the Shore by Murakami was a blast.
The Hobbit was ultimate comfy.

Red Rising all except for Iron gold are fun and filled with hype moments. The pacing is generally tight at as fuck making it a pleasure to read. Bonus points for having enjoyable prose.
