The Name of the Wind by Patrick Rothfuss
Patrick Rothfuss is never going to finish that shit. It started pretty decent, but I am now 100% convinced he has no idea where he's going with that story, beyond just a general vibe he's shooting for.
If you like fantasy, I would suggest the Magic Kingdom For Sale series by Terry Brooks. It s about a Regular Guy who gets sucked into a D&D world and becomes the King. It's pretty good.
It also pre-dates the Japanese "sucked into a magic world" fad by a few decades. I only ever read the first book, but it was a fun read.

I read a decent number of the Malazan books, and they seem deep at first, but eventually it becomes clear that they are just novelizations of his RPG campaigns. I started to find them pretty tiresome eventually.
Wheel of Time is a great series, despite a couple pretty tedious books in the middle. Hundreds of characters, many of them amazing but some terribly boring.
The Magician / Riftwar books by Raymond Faust were pretty fun. I don't remember there being any sex or anything inappropriate for kids, but it's been something like 20 years since I read them.
The Book of the New Sun by Gene Wolfe. Christian themes. Not for children. Written as memoirs of someone living in an extremely dystopian dying world; casual and matter-of-fact descriptions of torture, sex, and violence. Very deep, complex story and setting. Leaves much for the reader to puzzle out on their own over multiple readings.
I'll try to add other books that haven't been mentioned yet as I remember them.

The Chronicles of Prydain Series by Lloyd Alexander
I still think (and sometimes dream) about elements in those books many years later.

Literally anything by Robert E Howard, he wrote the original Conan the barbarian short stories.
Hp lovecraft.
Brian Jaques and his redwall series.
Kenneth opel and his silverwing books.
The depford mice books.
Wings of fire by tui t Sutherland.
Cs lewis, but do remember that he did not only make narnia, there are other books he made.
Cormac McCarthy is rather grim, not for everyone, but I would recommend a try.
Animorphs by KA Applegate.
I would have recommended Indian in the cupboard, and the asoiaf books, and a series of unfortunate events, but the authors of those where all quarter heeb wannabes, so ehh.
As for graphic novels, I would recommend the adventures of Tintin, and the BONE series.
Tim Sievert is an obscure comic maker, I reccomend him.
I'll add more examples as they come to mind, I have read many books, everything I mentioned here is something I have read.

Blood Meridian is incredible, but brutal. Steel Wind by Jeff Edwards if you like modern naval warfare. Farenhheit 451. Project Hail Mary by Andy Weir.
I really enjoyed the [Prince of Nothing series by R. Scott Bakker.](https://www.goodreads.com/series/40519-the-prince-of-nothing)
It's a slog with 8 books total and it bogs down a bit in the middle, but it's an epic adult fantasy that has an ending. Unlike the GoT series of books, which may never have one.

In case you fell asleep in high school English class brave new world and 1984 are both still classics and very enlightening. Brave new world is a society ruled by pleasure and the elimination of suffering, basically endless porn and SSRIs’. 1984 obviously the manipulation of language and the effects of propaganda and societal control.
Both still fun and good reads. But also harassment architecture and gothic violence both by Mike Ma are good too. They’re basically if you took a stream of conscious of anyone on ConPro. The second has a bit more of a story and better prose IMO.

I've read the first two, not in highschool though but actually just came across Mike Ma posted elsewhere so I'll take it as a indication to read. Thanks
Fahrenheit 451 and This Perfect Day are also interesting takes on the dystopia genre. Fahrenheit 451 is about a world where books are banned. Instead people veg out and watch these endless pointless soap operas all day. People are discouraged from the "wrong" types of recreation, such as just talking to other people.
This Perfect Day is about a society where everyone is drugged all the time (to a greater degree than Brave New World). All citizens are taught from birth to be completely non-violent, to the degree that the word "fight" is considered profanity, and they don't even have words to describe punching someone.
One thing I like about both of these is that they're *not* about everything being as terrible as it can possibly be, all the time. Instead freedom is traded for ..other things. There are significant benefits, and in some ways their societies are superior. But is it worth the cost?

Have you read "A Wrinkle in Time" by Madeleine L'Engle? I've heard, like Lewis's work, that it has Christian themes in it.
