I work in publishing, and I can tell you, certain books endure because they genuinely transcend their era.

  • "To Kill a Mockingbird" by Harper Lee remains unmatched in exploring racial justice and moral courage through narrative.
  • "1984" by George Orwell isn't just sci-fi; it's a chilling blueprint of authoritarianism increasingly relevant today. 
  • "Pride and Prejudice" by Jane Austen has perfect character development and social commentary that modern romance novels still copy.
  • "The Great Gatsby" by F. Scott Fitzgerald captures American aspiration with poetic language.
  • For epic scope, "One Hundred Years of Solitude" by Gabriel García Márquez pioneered magical realism.

These aren't "boomer" preferences, they won the prizes and awards they did because of objective narrative excellence. Literary analysis of these works has enriched human understanding of ourselves. Young readers often dismiss classics, then rediscover them at thirty and realize what they missed. I recommend reading broadly: literary fiction, sci-fi, fantasy, but ground yourself in books that shaped literature itself.
