If you want good recs off goodreads, find a book you like and check which "lists" it's been added to by other users. I've found a bunch of gems that way.

so hard to take goodreads lists seriously when they always promote the same five lists which seem to all have a ton of overlap and also imply that you aren't allowed to die until you read at LEAST these 20,000+ popular titles

bruh if I live fifty more years at fifty books a year (optimistic), I'd be able to read less than a tenth of the contents of some of these MUST READ lists.
