Children of Dune.

Also Homestuck has a few volumes of physical print you can get, so if we're including graphic novels...

Simarrilion or however it is spelled by Tolkein.
War and Peace
Brothers Karamazov or however it's spelled
Plato's Republic
Communist Manifesto(really quick read)
Wheel of Time if you can handle the ultra-detail.
The Prince by Machiavelli
The Postman(post apocalyptic)

That's all I can think of right now.

We're not, not enough actual novel. And no homestuck FFS.

Read(at least partially) most of those, would recommend all of them other than War and Peace. Tolstoy is the Russian Jane Austen, which is not necessarily a bad thing.

I am extremely surprised I am agreeing with ACH on the topic of a fandom.
We might have a paradox occuring.

What ACH said. SBHSFJ is awesome though, but in the way that a bioengineered plague is awesome.
