I’m fairly new to reading for pleasure but so far it’s been basically mindless romcom novels (Sophie Kinsella, etc.).
Suggest me a universally-agreed upon, literary masterpiece that will grab my attention from the very first sentence. I want to read a book that is so gripping that I will stay up all night to read it, a showpiece that will make it hard to pick up another book because a better one couldn’t possibly exist.

I’ll always recommend Lonesome Dove!
the goldfinch by donna tartt. I think about this book at least once a week
Try one of the classics or books on the top 100 books to read before you die. They usually are read and loved for a reason.
Wolf Hall by Hilary Mantel.
The Secret History by Donna Tartt.
The Mars Trilogy by Kim Stanley Robinson.
The Descent by Jeff Long.
Porno by Irvine Welsh.
Alias Grace by Margaret Atwood.
American Psycho by Bret Easton Ellis.
Hmm. I probably missed some.
