What were you reading when you were devouring books? If it was genre fiction, your brain may have just realized that all of those stories are basically just variations on a theme. Just guessing here. Not to get all "quit being a loving child and read some lit" but that could be the case. It's hard to recommend without knowing anything about your old habits though.

That's not a dismissal. We just need an idea of your tastes before anyone can recommend you something. Otherwise we'll just sit here telling you read Infinite Jest or Goosebumps or Portrait of the Artist as a Young Man or Ready Player One. That's just not going to help you.

gently caress it, since we're all just freestylin': If you want a cool PROJECT type book, you could try Infinite Jest. It's one of those "hardcore modern lit" books, but bear with me: It's actually not that crazy. Think of it as basically Royal Tenenbaums mixed with an Irvine Welsh story mixed with vague Hamlet references. Among a bunch of other stuff like wheelchair-bound assassins. It's a cool book. I'm really selling it short. My point is this: Since you haven't given us literally anything to work with, we're all going to swing wildly. So. You can take Infinite Jest as more of a project than a straight-up read, treating it like a big puzzle and piecing it together using the SHOCKING amount of resources available for 1st time IJ readers. (Check out Infinite Summer and some of the online wikis to read along with. ) Or you can just read Ready Player One: "The Hey Memba Old Video Games? You Sure Are a Smart!" extravaganza.
