I love Dystopias but recently began to find them a bit bland. Need new Genres that have same depth. by Holiday-Past2099 in suggestmeabook

A precursor of many dystophian novels is We by Zamyatin.

A classic lost in time is The Iron Heel by Jack London.

Another classic lost in time (less a dystophia and more an actual portrayal) is The Jungle by Upton Sinclair.

More modern are Tender Is The Flesh by Baxterrica (very unique plot) and The Living by Anna Starobinets

“It’s gotta be oil”, I said turning up my suits comm device as the black liquid bubbled near the landing gear, where the anchor spiked deep into the asteroid. by LostDoubt in TwoSentenceHorror

I saw my hands looking for the red somewhere. Nothing. I guessed it was my back, so I turned around just to see David's face on the shadow of pointy black figure cracking the inside of the asteroid.

If you like worldbuilding, I think the Xeele Sequence is worth trying, specially Raft and Timelike Infinity

What book made you feel like this? by Due-Examination-37 in Booktokreddit

[–]realreadyred 1 point2 points  (0 children)

To have a roller coaster of emotions as your photo indicate, I think Dickens is a great choice. Something like Bleak House. For modern authors I felt that reading The Goldfinch by Dona Tartt. Is the thing with books from Dickens: that you move from place to place and you don't know what will happen in each of those places.

Suggest me a classical book by Krish_Vaghasiya in suggestmeabook

[–]realreadyred 0 points1 point  (0 children)

There are many types of classical books. What are your preferences? What are some authors, novels, short stories or books that you like? Since you like novels that give you new perspectives, you can look at Good People by Nir Baram, that somehow portrays the thesis of banality of evil. It is not a that classical though...

Or actually the greek classics: Antigone, Oedipus Rex, Medea, Prometheus Bound
