Looking for immersive books that are hard to put down
Hi everyone! I’m new here and hope you can recommend some books for me.
I’m from a non-English-speaking background, so I’m still quite new to reading English novels. I’ve listed the books I’ve read below so you can get an idea of my taste.
My favorites (no particular order):
The Martian
Project Hail Mary
The Hobbit
The Lord of the Rings
Harry Potter
The Da Vinci Code
The Hunger Games
Books I enjoyed, but not as much as above:
Angels & Demons
The Secret of Secrets
Dark Matter
Murder on the Orient Express
And Then There Were None
Ready Player One
I’m open to any genre, but I especially enjoy adventure, mystery, sci-fi, fantasy, and books with great world-building or a strong sense of discovery throughout the plot.
What books made you completely lose track of time while reading?
Edit: Wow, thank you all so much for the recommendations! I honestly wasn’t expecting so many replies. My reading list has grown a lot, and I’m excited to start working through it one book at a time. I really appreciate everyone taking the time to share your favorites. Happy reading! 😊
