Anyone wanna recommend a book to a "pleb"

I haven't read a book in like a month.

Huxley, Vonnegut, Dostojevski and Murakami are some writers whose work I enjoy


I'd be looking for something interesting yet not too challenging

Any suggestions?

Don't model your reading on the "Top 100" it's innacurate, and not a good start. If you want a list to pick things from, look at Bloom's Canon.

Pick up Chekhov's About Love & Other Stories (Translation by Bartlett); Readings in Classical Chinese Philosophy - Ivanhoe & Van Norden; The Golden Ass - Apuleius; and Medea & Other Plays - Euripedes.

Not saying the books on the top 100 are bad, it's just good to use multiple sources to find new books.

For easy-to-read, but good: try some of the Icelandic Sagas, such as The Saga of the Volsungs.
