The Dispossessed Ursula K. Le Guin
The Left Hand of Darkness Ursula K. Le Guin
The Count of Monte Cristo Alexandre Dumas
The definition of a page turner.
The Death of Ivan Ilyich Leo Tolstoy
My Brilliant Friend Elena Ferrante
Modern classic, just about as good as it can get. The HBO show was very enjoyable too.
The Brothers Karamazov Fyodor Dostoyevsky
Solaris Stanislaw Lem
What I Talk About When I Talk About Running Haruki Murakami
Murakami's journey as he substituted a chain smoking addiction with running like a mad man. And found some inspiration along the way. Great book. Way better than the runner propaganda you might be expecting. "Pain is inevitable, suffering is optional" is a great line.
