+1 on Story of Your Life, it's a short story (only 20ish pages iirc) but it and all the other included stories are worth reading! And the movie is awesome too, it's Denis Villeneuve's best film imo

His best film indeed.... but only until Lisan al-Gaib shows us a better way later this year! lol

On that note, the first three Dune books are great too- really long, but good (from what I've heard they're very hit or miss after that, but I haven't read them for myself so ┐(´ー｀)┌ )

I read "A Fire Upon the Deep" recently, and it's readable but intelligent high scifi adventure with a rollercoaster of a narrative. Definitely recommend it.

Warhammer 40k ciphas cain book. Cain is basicaly an anime protagonist in grimdark 40k world and unlike those patethic self insert mc. Cain is actually has depth in his character. He maybe a coward but what is courage if it not about stand up and charge at your fear head on with chainsword at hand while constanly shitting your pants.

Gaunts ghosts are a good serious 40k series, but Cain is awesome (particularly IS he a coward or have massive imposter syndrome)

so i want to ask you all for book recommendations! so far i found out i really like ''mountain man'' books by keith c. blackmoore (made it to book 5)
i also gave it a try to ''he who fights with monsters'' wich was pretty interesting at the start but it kinda lost me for a bit
also if it help, here are some of my favorite stories/lore ever:

any suggestion is welcome, be it sfw/nsfw, audiobook, a fanfic even!

I think Into the Wild by Jon Krakauer could really work for you, it's a great non-fiction book. It shares that survivalist, introspective feel. The MC is kind-of "flawed" in a way that reminded me a bit of Disco Elysium / Better Call Saul type writing.

If you were in the mood for something darker/stranger instead, You Like It Darker by Stephen King would be my other recommendation. it’s mostly short stories with some slightly surreal tone.

If you're big on video games and simple power fantasy stories you would probably like the Cradle series. Shabby kid starts from nothing and becomes one of the most powerful martial artists in existence

As already referenced above, Frank Herbert's Dune series is a life-changing read. 6 books out of a planned 7. His son wrote the final and some prequel/spinoffs with other author(s). I'm just recommending the core 6. Some people dislike the second half of the series, but they're my favorite re-reads most of the time.

If you are looking for a short read, I found The Stranger to be very powerful.
