I'm currently an Aerospace Engineering major who people joke should be pursuing a double in English as well. I will read anything given to me, and am usually open to any author. I could always use more recommendations! I've already worked my way through a lot of the stereotypical classics, so recommendations of books that are less well known are even more appreciated! One of my life goals is to read 1000 books, and I'm well on my way! :)
