The Immoralist
don't be too put off by the title
The temple of the golden pavilion
Go outside
The Wasp Factory, not even joking
The Book of the New Sun (unironically)
Rachel Carson, depending on your mood. Not fantastical but she describes the natural world in such an enchanting way. It'll make you happy to be a part of it. One of her sea books, not Silent Spring.
The Alchemist by Paulo Coelho. I've read it twice, both times I felt as if it had changed my life. It didn't but it gave me a temporary feeling of wanting to throw caution to the wind, go exploring and listen to the "universe."
Come to think of it, I should read it again before my next vacation.
On the Road
OP here, haven't read any of these, which are the best
The Alchemist is a light read, and I just found out that there is a version illustrated by Mœbius.

Unironically this.
You can't approach it with any presuppositions like this guy. Take it for what it is
In all seriousness, "The tale of Genji", read the Dennis Washburn translation, listen to the first 2 chapters translated by Suematsu Kenchō. You also might want to read "The World of the Shining Prince: Court Life in Ancient Japan" to prep yourself for Genji Monogatari. DO NOT GET ANY abridged versions.
How about going outside ?
cool who wrote it and what is the best translation?
Silmarillion worked for me.
Thus Spoke Zarathustra is the one I keep returning to.
