Catherynne M Valente, Jasper Fforde, Christopher Moore, Thomas Wharton, and Mark Dunn come to mind immediately
I'm reading Agatha Christie again at the moment, because I'm a parody of myself. "Nemesis", if anyone's interested.

I recently finished reading The Cat Who Saved Books by Sosuke Natsukawa and translated by Louise Heal Kawai, and a particular passage has lodged itself into my brain.

"Books teach us how to care about others."

Book bans don't just limit knowledge they also limit empathy.
