Recs from kind cultured souls

I need some recs that have me immersed. Like after reading I just sit there and like grieve or try to digest the awesomeness. I want to read something that I can’t get over and that takes me days to get into the rhythm of life. They can be sad or lovey dovey, I don’t discriminate!

Some examples of such is “Perle” which had me sobbing so badly and now I can’t look at pearls and blue paint the same.

Another is “Hwang Young’s Misery” which was so well written that I stopped reading for a bit cut everything else felt inadequate.

Separately I would also like to ask for some that have niche specialization and you can actually learn some odd knowledge. (Ex. “Melting Point” uses hockey terms and “Into the Thrill” the bottom plays the violin and drops ball)
