Not OP, couple rando suggestions:

High concept sci-fi:. Three body problem by Liu cixin, or A deepness in the sky by Vernor vinge

Character drama: 11/22/63 Stephen king, or really almost anything by him

Don't underestimate lit-trash -- it's worlds better than Twitter -- Lee child jack reacher novels are fun, so were the original Tom Clancy run. Altered carbon on the cuberpunk front.

And of course the classics if you're willing to invest -- most of them are worth it, otherwise they wouldn't be classics

I wrote a really long winded response about some of my favorite authors and their corresponding favorite books. Each tackle different cross-sections of thought. All of them have had an everlasting impact in how they completely eliminate my ability to have binary ideologies.
