Yeah i've already seen the recommendation list, I just have a strong repulsion to "classics" as i'm a brainwashed anti intellectual deep in the pit of nihilism. Please help a brother out and recommend a book that'll bring the feels
also I'd really like to read a recently published book, books published awhile ago usually put me to sleep

The classics are difficult for a short period of time only. It is the strangeness of the prose that makes it hard reading, not the intellectual substance. Most of the classics are fairly straight forward and immersive. Just keep reading. They will lift you up my friend
Just take acid and fuck off.

I actually have a good pick for you. "City of Thieves" by David Benioff. Not intellectual/highbrow but also not straight trash, an easy read and pageturner. Very propulsive story

You could also try the recent popular "literary" hits like Donna Tartt and All the Light We Cannot See. Popular yet not genre trash is probably a good criteria to start.
Jeanette Winterson's Written on the Body is sexy and immersive literary fiction

It doesn't have to be a good experience. Might as well see how far your rabbit hole can go, since you're already fucked.

That's why I said you're already fucked. I guess you're stupid, too.
