Are there any good books with non-human protagonists?
Hard mode: no fantasy

Some of the few Star Wars novels that are actually good.

Kafka - die Verwandlung
Main character is a dung beetle

You Bright and Risen Angels - William Vollmann.
No idea if you'd like it or not. His work tends to be polarizing. It's about incects vs the forces of electricity. It's literary.

i want to write a book like ivisible cities, but instead of marco polo and cities, it'd by darwin and different animals with weird characteristics

Italo Calvino's "Cosmicomics" has a bunch of weirdo stories about plankton and planets and seasponges and shit. Can't quite remember all of it.
Originally in French "Les fourmis"

Animal Farm
Bunnicula
Watership Down by Richard Adams. I'm told the Plague Dogs by the same author is good though I've only seen the film.
Beasts by John Crowley is outstanding
heart of a dog - bulgakov
Crucible of Time by John Brunner.
Grendel

Watership down is my favourite, and i just bought the plague dogs on a market.
Flush: A Biography by Virginia Woolf
The Burrow + Josephine the Singer, or the Mouse Folk by Franz Kafka. They're both just long short stories though.
