John Green
“I've read two big books over Thanksgiving, both of which I am pleased to recommend. First, @ca_london's Black Wings Beating, which is an epic fantasy about falconry with a queer protagonist, and also a world so richly imagined that you truly feel like you live within it. So good.”

Not sure if this is the right fit?
Consider The Republic by Plato. Recommended by 13 sources.
“Plato stages an extended Socratic conversation that moves from concrete questions about justice into broad proposals about an ideal city, the structure of the soul, and what counts as reality and knowledge. Reading alternates brisk question-and-answer snippets with long, cumulative demonstrations that reward careful attention and annotation. Main value: a wealth of thought experiments for testing political and ethical intuitions. Main limitation: repetitive refutations, long policy sketches and dense metaphysical passages can feel abstruse and slow; patience and some philosophical background help.”
