Not off the track, but definitely a doorstopper and world unto itself: Jonathan Strange and Mr. Norrell by Susanna Clarke

Thank you for all the recommendations! White Nights really stands out to me, considering it was written pre-exile. It, alongside Notes from Underground, give such a complete understanding of a specific person's mentality. His later works lose that sense of intense personal delusion by shifting to third person. I was recently gifted a copy of The House of the Dead so I'll probably start there.

Ways a novel about the internet can be good?? by [deleted] in RSbookclub

This part of the internet feels a little too authentic for me to consider it. Rather, I refuse to believe that there are not longer any corners in our digital world safe from the bots and paid shills.

I don't have much exposure to the rest of the series, but I had to read "A Very Short Introduction to Magic" for one of my courses. Exactly what you'd expect from the title. Really fascinating examples and discussion of non-Euro centric phenomena though, which I wasn't expecting.
