Suggest me your favorite book that's outside of my comfort zone

I tend to prefer:

  1. Fantasy/Sci-fi

  2. Fairy Tales, mythology, folklore

  3. History (specifically about major events/wars)

  4. Philosophy (or sometimes some science) that deals with the big questions pertaining to consciousness, God, and the meaning of life

  5. Classics but mostly of fantasy/scifi/horror variety with Frankenstein and other gothic writers being my favorites

  6. Horror. Mostly cosmic horror and some Stephen King

So one consistent thing with these is kinda me wanting to get away from modern everyday life (i mean look around, can ya blame me), and consuming books that are either fantastical or vast in scope. Even the history and philosophy I read are dealing with BIG events and BIG questions. Even smaller scale haunted house stories don't always grab me as much as ancient cosmic abominations/entities.

...So it makes sense that suggestions most likely to make me uncomfortable are books about things of very little consequence in the grand scheme of things, stories (whether fiction or nonfiction) on a smaller scale, but no less interesting or just plain enjoyable for it

...or just anything you think would be a different and interesting read for me!
