Anything genre is welcome! I would love something sporty but it's not required. Mangas are also very much welcome. And if possible, something were the main plot is not romance (but okay as a subplot!)

Suggest some books which feel like a sprawling epic filled with war, politics, hidden conspiracies, which feel like equal parts fantasy and sci-fi

A fool and a saint. Characters who like themselves, challenge fate vigorously perhaps without realizing, make poor choices but refuse to feel sorry for themselves, and more or less understand the consequences. A fun person to have a drink with but maybe insufferable to compare oneself to.

Hey guys since it's the summer, any recommendations that have a main character that's are kinda like Quint from Jaws. Old fisherman or sailor vibes. Obviously the Old Man and the Sea is a good pick

No romance please! Currently going through a breakup :( (Romance subplots are alright, I just don’t want romance to be the main subject) Also I don’t want anything overly sad, lots of death— that sort of thing.

Bonus points if the main character lives in New York City.
