My favorite books are the ones that have short stories inside that all kind of connect in the end. The Starless Sea is a big one.
I would also accept books that have the main character tell short stories, like Strange the Dreamer. Or a compilation of short stories that kind of share one message like Exhalation by Ted Chiang or What Your Looking for is in the Library.
Basically, think of ones that are nice to read aloud to your partner at night before bed. 🙂 TIA
