The Evening and The Morning by Ken Follett is long but really really good. I don't usually like really long books but it holds your attention.

Agree!

Bleachers and Playing for Pizza are both enjoyable reads. Bleachers is Texas high school football and more serious. Playing for Pizza is about a pro player that gets shipped to Italy to play. Very fun book.

Really enjoyed Justin Cronin's trilogy: The Passage, The Twelve, & The City of Mirrors.

Also... Emily St. John Mandel's Station Eleven.

Hey! If we are talking about fiction, not scientific literature, then go here https://freebooksummary.com/category/pedro-paramo because here you can read short summaries for books (even for example those that were offered here). From myself, I can recommend the book, Pedro Paramo. I almost finished it

and by the way, I found it on that site. Enjoy reading!
