I know hundreds but I don't know your tastes.
Honestly, I'm into anything if it's good. I just like really good art, but more towards fiction than non-fiction.
If you're into fantasy, look into The Wheel of Time series. It's dense, absolutely packed with characters, and the world has a ton of detail. It's also 14 (rather large) books long, 15 if you count the prequel, so if you like it it'll keep you busy for a good long while.
If you've seen the Amazon series based on the books and were turned off by it, maybe give the books a try instead. The Amazon series doesn't do it justice, in my opinion.
If you like sci-fi, I recommend The Expanse books and novellas.
The audiobooks narrated by Jefferson Mays are also good, as is the TV series, though they tried to cram too much into the last season, IMO, without actually finishing the story. The ending in the books is tons better.
If you like sci-fi, I recommend Project Hail Mary. It was written by the author of the book that became the movie “The Martian” (also supposedly a real great book, and on my list). Same guy wrote the short story “The Egg” that’s a pretty good and quick philo-fi.
