I heard somewhere (on a podcast no less) that Gen Z are really into "Lore" in general.

Middlemarch is top 5 for me. Someone (who?) described it as one of the only novels for adults, and I thoroughly stand by that. I carry the portrait of Casaubon--both completely serious, sympathetic, and damning--around in my head, a kind of warning of my tendency to the safety of intellectual overreach over actual risky action.
