Man in his mid-twenties, looking for books that will improve his vocabulary and his worldviews?

Hi, I am a man in my mid-twenties looking for fiction and nonfiction books to improve my vocabulary, writing skills but mostly my view of the world. I have lived in the same place all my life and haven't had the opportunity to travel too much so I am hoping that a book or two would be able to widen my views a bit.

There are only two things I want you take into consideration when suggesting a book: The first one is that I am not used to reading a lot, so please don't suggest something too long. The second thing is I that I would appreciate if you could tell me why you think I should read the book - you don't need to put to much effort into this, but a few lines would be appreciated.

Thank you for reading my post, and I would really appreciate it if you took the time to suggest me a book. Have a great day/evening!
