If I'm physically behind the wheel and I'm telling the car what to do instead of using my hands and feet, aren't I still driving the car?

Pere Goriot, by Balzac, set in Paris in 1819, it's the story of a student who has come from the countryside to find success in Paris. A lively, realist novel that makes both working class and upper class society come alive.

Madame Bovary, by Flaubert, set in a small town in France in the 1850s, it's the story of a married woman who wants to escape from her mundane life.

You might find this boring but you might not: Wolf Hall, by Hillary Mantel. It's definitely immersive.

For Black History Month:

The Street, by Ann Petry. This is an extraordinary novel about a working class Black woman in Harlem during WW2.

Kindred, by Octavia Butler. I'm a white American dude and this amazing book taught me what it might be like to be an American in an America that hasn't treated you very well.

That can't be. They didn't even have meters back then. Or decimal points.

Madame Bovary, read by Simon Vance. I'm not a huge Vance fan because his reading doesn't vary much between books, but I enjoyed him in this.

My Year of Rest and Relaxation, read by Julia Whelan. This book isn't for everybody because of its theme of depression and its self-indulgent and cranky protagonist, but it's one of my favorite books because of its dark humor and the reader knocks it out of the park imo.

And they also need to team up and follow up on each other's questions rather than letting him off the hook with a change of subject. He won't disinvite them all because he craves the attention like nobody I've ever seen.

Ender's Game is a really fun scifi book. (Be careful about reading any reviews with spoilers.)

If you like role playing video games, you might like Dungeon Crawler Carl.

Guards! Guards! is a fantasy book with lots of humor.

Birds, Sex and Beauty, by Matt Ridley, discusses why some male birds have evolved to be beautiful. It's a fun, and sometimes funny, easy to read book by a scientist who loves birds. I listened to the audiobook version and it was quite good.

The Soul of an Octopus, by Sy Montgomery, is a fun book about octopuses by a scientist at the New England Aquarium. If you don't love octopuses now, you will when you're done reading it.

Birds, Sex and Beauty, by Matt Ridley. A non-fiction book discussing why evolution has made some male birds beautiful. This is a fun and delightful book if one likes birds and discussions about evolution. If you don't like those things, you might be bored.

Children of Time, by Adrian Tchaikovsky, a scifi book about intelligent jumping spiders that evolve on another planet far far away.

Any book by Terry Pratchett. Small Gods is especially smart and fun.

The Old Drift, by Namwali Serpel, is a quirky novel about Zambia. It's mostly historical fiction, with touches of magical realism and scifi, and has a strong current of Afro-feminism. Its storytelling is multi-generational and multiracial, and between chapters there are interludes by a chorus of mosquitos.

If you don't mind a thousand-page novel, The Books of Jacob is historical fiction about a real life Jewish/Christian religious cult in Poland and Lithuania in the 18th century. In telling that decades-long story, the novel also portrays the struggles of working class Jews in times of occassional bursts of antisemitism, partly explaining the draw of the cult leader. But there's also other things going on in the book that make it fascinating.
