Stiff by Mary Roach
Stiff is a non-ficton novel done by a journalist who was bound and determined to figure out just what happens to bodies once we die. Very interesting, especially if you work in the medical field or are just interested in dead people. Roach is also funny so you'll have a good time, even during the more dour moments.

Skyward by Brandon Sanderson
Skyward is a young-adult sci-fi series with 4.5 books total. I've read the first three main books and it's a wonderful read. Strong female main if that's your thing, minimal romance, very cool space fights. I'm a big Sanderson fan, I am biased, but this series is very engaging and a rewarding read.
Don Quixote by Miguel Cervantes
Don Quixote, considered the first modern novel, is quite the read. It does feature racism as would be expected of a book from 1605, just a heads up. Don't expect progressive values, but I did really enjoy reading it. It was entertaining and fun to read. I reccomend annotating as you read. I also reccomend the Edith Grossman edition

The Eye of the World by Robert Jordan
This is the first book of the classic epic fantasy series The Wheel of Time. It's a big commitment, 14 books long, but I'd say its worth it. It does have an unfortunate emphasis on the gender binary--it was the 90's. It was a big influence on the fantasy genre and I really enjoyed it regardless.
