You can’t go wrong with the classics. I’m a big fan of Asimov’s I, Robot and Foundation. Le Guin’s Hanish Cycle is fantastic, particularly The Dispossessed. I loved Dune and Ender’s Game (although their sequels are mid).
If you want some pop SciFi, try Timothy Zhan’s Hier to the Empire or Tales from Mos Eisley Cantina. The Bobverse was also a lot of fun.
On the fantasy side, I’ve got a deep fondness for Raymond E. Fiest’s Magician series, although I’ll admit the later books in the series don’t hold up as well as the first few trilogies.
Thank you! I actually read the very first magician a long time ago; a friend we visited while traveling lent it to me. Now I know there’s a trilogy I’ll have to check it out!

Also, huge nerd for H.P. Lovecraft
