Hey /lit/ so I was thinking every author I read seems to be a classic from the 50s and below, like Salinger, Orwell, Golding, Bradbury etc, and I was just hoping you guys could recommend me some more modern novels/authors from like the last 20 years I could check out

I'm a pleb when it comes to literature so don't go out recommending some 10,000 page book but also don't recommend me like Harry Potter thanks

A chart or list would do perfect for this

Look at the people who win awards. Man-Booker, Pulitzer, Nobel. Some awards are much more prestigious than others (Pulitzer always nominates middlebrow shit), but they're all pretty fantastic starting points for someone who wants to get into something a step-up from Harry Potter or George Martin.

One of my favourite books is from 1997: Bernhard Schlink's The Reader. It's fairly short and readable.

Haruki Murakami is perhaps the greatest writer of the past 150 years, definitely the greatest living. Read Kafka on the Shore.

isn't being nominated just being submitted by some publicist?
