What are some novels or short stories that involve people digging holes and living underground? Since as long as I can remember I've had this literary fetish. I will also accept people shrinking themselves to live in crazy small places. Don't tell me I'm the only one who wants shit like this.

I'm guessing you've read Kafka's The Burrow?
That's fucked up. I was expecting her to shove them up her pussy tho

Oh shit that's perfect for OP
It's got such a comfy fort vibe
Oddly you also might like The Moon is a Harsh Mistress
The Woman in the Dunes
OP mentioned it was his 'fetish'. "The Burrow" has got to be one of the most fetishistic short stories ever written.
City of ember
Abraham Merritt, The Moonpool (pub. dom)
Roshwald, Modecai, Level 7
Frank Herbert, The Hive
Hamilton, Edmund, The Monsters of Jotunheim
The Hive probably fits your request best, but it is quite disturbing.
Not me, I want to live in the pitch black depths of the ocean on Europa.
Oh, and if you don't restrict yourself to caves and burrows but are OK with whole subterranean worlds try th short story "Marrow" by Robert Reed, or "Matter" by Iain M. Banks.
There are actually stories about that - Spy in Europa by Alastair Reynolds, and Sea Change with Monsters byPaul J McAuley. Pic related to latter.
Check out Maxime Chattam and his "promesse de nuit" there should be a translation. Great depicting of layers underground. The more hardcore homeless elites are below. Just like elites in skyscrapers are high.
I remember someone in a thread once said they wanted to write a book like Moby Dick but about mining instead of whaling. That'd be right up your alley if only it existed

First Men in the Moon by H. G. Wells
Giant ant-men living in the moon.
There is nothing more aesthetically and spiritually stimulating to me than the idea of kissing a cute boy on the lips and i'm never going to do it.
