Contemporary non YA: A Hundred Thousand Worlds, Bob Proehl or Are You Seeing Me? by Darren Groth

Fantasy: The Hobbit, obv, or basically any quest narrative

Humorous/memoir-y: In a Sunburned Country by Bill Bryson

Wild card/crime: The Mereleigh Record Club Tour of New Zealand by Roy Vaughan

Even wilder card: the podcast Alice Isn't Dead

(and I'm sure you'll have read King's The Stand)
You have given that some thought, thanks! I've read The Road, The Hobbit and The Stand, as you guessed, but the rest I'll again need to look into.
