I also agree that you should read some classics but don't get fixated on that: just because something is contemporary now doesn't mean it won't become a classic.

Read "The Fault in our Stars"

Holy mother of God, I think I'm in 😍 I'm a big fan of African lit, would highly also recommend Chinua Achebe (Things Fall Apart).Why not broaden your horizons by including authors from other parts of the world?
🔥Ahmadou Kourouma - Waiting for the Wild Beasts to Vote (a satirical account of African dictatorships)
🔥Chimanda Ngozi Adichie - Half of a Yellow Sun (three characters' lives intertwine in post-civil war Nigeria)
🔥Khairy Shalabi - The Time Travels of the Man Who Sold Pickles and Sweets (a quirky introduction to Egyptian history over the past 1000 years)
Read classics - Kafka, Camus (The Stranger), Dostoevsky, Thomas Mann, Garcia Marquez. Things that stand the test of time, not garbage for your brain like 50 shades of nada.

The Iron Fey series by Julie Kagawa were really good and the Magicians Guild by Trudi Canavan. I liked both, have read The Inhertitance series they were ok but most of them too long for the content

Dragon riders of Pern series by Anne McCaffrey
Slathbog's gold by M.L. Forman
Eon by Alison Goodman
Lockdown by Alexander Gordon Smith
Incarceron by Catherine Fisher
Warrior Heir by Cinda Williams Chima
Relic master: The dark city by Catherine fisher
If you had said the genre you prefer it would have allowed me to narrow down on what I can find all of these are the beginnings to great series oh and one last one I nearly forgot.
Falling Kingdoms by Morgan Rhodes and

Anything by Micheal Crichton, start with familiar titles like Jurassic Park, sphere, congo, eaters of the dead(movie based on it was The 13th Warrior), then continue to feed your obsession. The movies pretty much all sucked but the books will blow you away.

The inheritance cycle ( some call it the Eragon series) and The Lord of the Flies ( short but amazing. It's about the break down of civilization when moral codes or values sent exercises ir considered.

I don't know if anyone has suggested this,but I was illiterate until Harry potter,and the world opened.direct link to upton Sinclair.like mind blown.literally.its a curse

If you can read,you are a problem

Ender's game is quality, but I also like Timeline. Warriors is about fighting cats, pretty good series, as is Harry Potter and Pendragon.
Do you want to seem really sophisticated? Read A Tale of Two Cities or any play by Chekhov or Tennessee Williams. I suggest the "Seagull" if you want to go into classics. I would suggest "Tartuffe" by Moliere. It has an abundance of post-Victorian sexual humor. Very Funny.

Les Mis is good. FOR a quick read: Soldier X. It's about a German soldier who is fighting the soviets. His trench is overrun, but he kills a young Russian and masquerades as him. He fakes amnesia and is sent to a Russian hospital. Pretty cool, true story. 2-3 hours for me to finish.
