EDIT: This bounty is now closed for new submissions! Thanks everyone for participating. If you want, you can bet on the winner here!

I’m hoping Manifold can help me find a book (or book-length story) that I’ll love.  Win prizes for great suggestions and bet on which will win at least 2000m here.

Requirements for entry:

• I haven’t already read it (or tried to read it and wasn’t interested)

• Is at least 75,000 words

• Max 2 suggestions per person (though see update at the bottom), though if you suggest something and I’ve already tried it, I’ll let you know in the comments and you can suggest again.

Prize Structure:

• 25M for each good suggestion that I add to the 2,000M prize market (limit 30).  “Good” means that when I look it up I think there’s a chance of it winning at least 2000M.

• 500M for a book I finish, but didn’t rate as something I “really liked”

• 2000M for a book I finish and “really liked” (see doc under notes in on my taste for examples of books that would have been in this category for me)

• 5000M for a book I finish that I would rate as one of my favorite books of all time (very few examples of these can be found in the doc below as well)

Bonus multipliers (only apply to finishing a book prizes, not 25M bounties):

• 2x multiplier for a book I’d never heard of and think I would not have likely found without the suggestion

• 1.5x multiplier for a book that’s outside my “normal” genres (subjective, but for something to meet this criteria I’d want it to really feel different than other things I’d read)

Multipliers are, well, multiplicative, so the biggest bounty I’d be giving world be for a book I finish that becomes one of my favorite books of all time which I wouldn’t have found without the suggestion that is in a genre I don’t normally read (5000M * 2 * 1.5 = 15,000M).

I’ll use the 2000M prediction market as a hint for what I should try first, but I don’t guarantee that the top choice there is what I’ll start with.  I’ll answer questions in the comments about my taste, so feel free to AMA about books.  I’m slightly more likely to try out books that are part of a series, because I tend to like extended stories, though The Martian is one of my favorite books of all time, and it’s pretty short.

If a book that you were going to suggest has already been suggested, please “like” it rather than adding a duplicate.

If you do leave a description of / pitch for the book in the comments, please do your best to avoid spoilers.  I tend to like to go into things pretty blind.

Some Notes on My Taste:

Fantasy and Science Fiction are my most-read genres, with a side of popular non-fiction.  I’ve done a write-up of some books I’ve read and what I thought about them in this doc. 

I’ve got a bad pattern with a lot of books that I’d ostensibly like where if they don’t grab my attention in approximately the first 20 minutes of reading I tend to lose steam and not come back to the book.  I’ve gotten lots of recommendations from friends for various books that I just don’t quite get started on (Lies of Locke Lamora, Jonathan Strange & Mr Norrell, many others). So it's possible you'll want to lean towards things that start stronger, but then again maybe I'll push through slower starts because of the incentive in these markets!

UPDATE: As suggested by Joshua, you can do more than 2 suggestions per person if you add 25M to the bounty. If I've already read the book you suggest after you add to bounty, I'll give it back to you! I mostly limited it to 2 so people don't spam to claim all the bounty.
