Oh I've got some recs for you if you want meaty! I've been reading classics this year. It started with East of Eden; if you've got a philosophical leaning and appreciate your characters deeply fleshed out, you owe it to yourself to read this book.
The next one was Lonesome Dove, this was my first time reading a western and I didn't think I'd enjoy it as much as I did. The book is also absolutely hilarious and has one of my favorite characters in a book(shoutout to Gus).
I'm currently reading The Count of Monte Cresto and, boy, it's turning out to be quite the epic tale of revenge(no spoilers please!).
John Steinbeck's East of Eden is from 1952, and on Archive.org [0], I assume that is the one? It's not on Gutenberg (as a nice epub), but there is another one from Isa Glenn [1]. Since Netflix has a miniseries based on Steinbeck's novel I'm going to assume it's that one :)
