What was the last novel/series that made you forget you were reading a book? When the story/characters are so good that it feels you're watching a movie.
For me, it was the GOT series. Say what you will about Georgie, but his story grabbed me by the balls. It's a shame the TV show will finish before him.

All of these books are listed as hardcovers while they are in fact paperbacks.
You get a refund if you contact them about it after receiving the books.
This does not stop the books from looking like dirt.

Capitalist Realism: Is there no alternative?
it's pretty short and also free, and goes over a lot of topics on how human lives have been affected by globalist capitalism, with examples.
Do you give your characters meaningful names?

just make up some gibberish
roll some dice and pick the respective letters in the alphabet
characters from outer space get names without vowels and the love interest(s) is/are named after the hot girls from high school

I've heard Buddenbrooks is a good start. I really want to dive into his work, he seems pretty interesting.

go for it. they're separate novels. it doesn't matter.

buddenbrooks and/or death in venice.
take a detour with tonio kroger if you like death in venice.
then go magic mountain -> doctor faustus - >joseph and his brothers
his shorter stuff can be sprinkled in where you want depending on interest. mario the magician is a personal favorite, and i think it works well to read it right before doctor faustus.
after that you can explore his other stuff as you see fit. holy sinner and black swan are a bit "out there" and very much involved in mann's particular interests, and felix krull is cool but unfinished

one actually exists and is relevant to the lives of more than half of the world facing the legacy of Western imperialism and neocolonialism whereas the other doesn't really exist, is basically LELSORANDUMXD U DUN NO NUFFAN and is spearheaded by white males in their suburban basements making vapourwave remixes

in other words, one is produced by the natives of undeveloped countries, and the other by people with an actual command of art and the avant-garde therein.

a lot of it is pretty good though tbqh
much of the works of the surrealists in the early 20th century is very experimental and from that point onwards there is plenty of really good experimental writing up through the 60's and 70's
