I love a good Opinel knife, but isn't the point of the Swiss Army knife that it saves space?

idk, I say the same stuff regardless. Sometimes people like what I say, sometimes they don't

They've been doing it a while. They even gave some free ones away to encourage people to buy more. I actually have some of the free ones because why not. I would never pay for them though

Around the point where you start looking for excuses not to read it and need to force your way through it

They don't really fit the criteria from op, but they're both must reads

My 3 main recommendations were already mentioned but I'll mention them again for visibility.

Stormlight Archives by Brandon Sanderson. There are actually multiple main characters, but the world building is top notch. I haven't finished the series yet (it's my "read during lunch" series atm) but so far there are 2 male main characters in the 18-25ish range

The Codex Alera by Jim Butcher. The main character starts around 12 and there are arguably multiple main characters, but it's a damn good series. Think ancient Rome but everyone controls elementals

Lightbringer by Brent Weeks. A fantastic series where the government and religions of the world are built around the magic system. The series happens over a few years but the main character starts at around 15

Since I mentioned Lightbringer I also want to mention The Night Angel Trilogy by Brent Weeks. It's a dark fantasy series featuring magically gifted assassins. Most of the good guys are criminals and murderers. It's a brutal series with an excellent cast of characters and a world that feels like it's been through hell. The main character starts off as a kid, but is in his 20s by the end of the series

If you don't mind a somewhat bleak post apocalyptic book, I really liked Metro 2033 by Dmitri Glukhovsky.

There's a game series based on it too, but you asked for books and I haven't played the games

If you look between the seriously struggling Canadian flag and the big circle that says OSU! There's a carefully animated Bad Apple music video. It starts pretty much right away so it should be easy to keep track of

If they've been there a while they might be more dangerous to remove

After a lot of searching on Rotten Tomatoes, Venom? Fun and kinda goofy suoerhero comedy. I definitely liked it enough to watch the sequel

I loved that movie. It was so terrible that I couldn't help but have a great time
