Agreed. I think it should be broken down by pacing, if anything. I think books that meander could be considered for folks with more experience, where books that seem to go, go, go could help newer readers get into reading.

I wouldn't recommend the Wheel of Time to someone starting out. But Run by Blake Crouch, or Dungeon Crawler Carl can be great ways to get someone into reading/listening.
