I'm going on a trip and I just finished watching twin peaks for the second time. I need a book recommendation that somewhat fills the same niche and has a similar vibe. Something about a small town with a dark, subtle, and mystical vibe that can also be very light hearted at the same time. I'd like a unique and interesting protagonist that isn't just a vessel for the reader, but is a well-defined character in his own right. Also a heavy focus on setting that treats the setting almost as a character itself. Do you know any books like this?

Read The diary of Laura Palmer, and the diary of Dale Cooper. They are both good books to read if you love Twin peaks and those characters.

two out of three ain't bad, as a wise man once said
I ***highly*** recommend Haruki Murakami. I got into Lynch and Murakami at the same time, when I was seventeen or eighteen, and although their content isn't exactly the same by virtue of being from different countries and upbringings, their work *works* in extremely similar ways, and deals with similar themes and cultural and personal issues, etc, etc.
Please read Kafka on the Shore, I think you will like it. It's a great starting point, and perhaps his most actively Lynchian. Dance, Dance, Dance, Hardboiled Wonderland and the End of the World, and The Wind-Up Bird Chronicle are all masterpieces as well, but not the best starting points.
