Asking for recommendations of books or series of books from the genres fantasy & scifi mostly that are sort of escapist and nice/fun to read.

I use audiobooks for my sleep as audh and have listened to the Discworld novels for that for some time now, but I can't really handle the individual angle and especially the way he writes about womens bodies anymore. Also this is my third round of it unless I find an alternative. Last night got to the point in Unseen Academicals where he felt the need to make sure every reader knows that nobody, absolutely nobody found the fat girl attractive & I just can't do this to myself anymore.

And the same goes for reading other fiction. I have read my Steinbecks and Asimovs long ago, have read most of Stephen King even though he is vey much ultralib, but I love horror. Tolkien, scifi classics, horror classics and such I have all read, but am struggling to find modern fiction that is written from a leftist pov even a little.

Any recommendations on this and on the night-night audiobook series would be so so welcome.
