Inspired by the 50 books thread, I've been reading lots more this year. The flip side of this is I've started to run out of books I fancy - looking back at my list, most of the ones I've really liked were near the start of the year. So - some new recommendations needed :)
Fiction - I mostly read sci-fi / fantasy, often enjoy YA, don't really do 'literary' fiction. Some I've liked this year: SF - Ready Player One, The City and The City by China Mieville, Europe in Autumn. Non-SF - Grief is the Thing With Feathers, How to be Both by Ali Smith. Didn't like The Martian, The Invisible Library.
Non-fiction - read a lot of social sciences/politics, generally not so inspired by straight pop-science. Liked The Life Project / Social Class in the 21st Century / The New Spymasters / Nothing is True and Everything is Possible / Lean In. Didn't get on with Do No Harm or Names for the Sea.
Any suggestions welcome!
