Do you guys have any recs for someone who just picked up reading as a hobby? I just finished Shadow of the Torturer, I didn't really get that engaged with it, I'm reading The Hobbit right now and it's pretty. I want something that's going to challenge me though.

I was going to say 'Be nice now,' but then I remembered where I was.

Roadside picnic by Strugatsky.
Easily one of the best sci-fi books, alongside Solaris. Both are relatively short, dark, intense and have that philosophical pinch which is lacking in western sci-fi.
Perfect for people who have recently discovered reading.
Flowers for Algernon
Easy to read, not that hard to understand the themes, while still having themes and meaning beyond the literal.
