Give me a book that has the most creative, strangest world.
I'm looking for something that gives me a "I've never read anything like this before" feeling. Like the first time you read lord of the rings, watched Star Wars or attack on titan.
I think Winter’s Orbit by Everina Maxwell has some of the most creative world building I’ve ever read. Especially when it comes to gender and society

I definitely recommend Susanna Clarke’s ‘Piranesi’. It’s a short one but such a delight. I tell people that the whole book felt like it was the dream I wish I was having. This one will make your brain stretch in the best way to imagine an impossible and wonderful reality.

Sounds like you might enjoy science fiction or fantasy, you know, speculative fiction. **Dune** is great, and deeper than the movie. Or read **The Algebraist** by Iain Banks. Or **The Book of the New Sun** by Gene Wolfe. **This Is How You Lose the Time War** by Max Gladstone is awesome. Or maybe **Dungeon Crawler Carl**, **Kings of the Wyld**, **The Blacktongue Thief.**

It’s a little different than other suggestions, but encourage anyone interested in strangeness to read Flann O’Brien’s _The Third Policeman_
