[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]It wasn't published in the last 10 years, but for me the answer is The Secret History, by Donna Tartt.[/quote]

I hated that book. Read almost all of it, but couldn’t quite finish. None of the characters were likable, so I didn’t care to find out what happened to them in the end.

To answer OP’s question, the best book I read in recent years is probably The Great Alone. 
I also love the quiet and beauty of Where the Crawdads Sings. I like a book with good nature descriptions.

So? This is a timeless topic.[/quote]

Plus we now have four more years of ideas!

Nonfiction: Far From the Tree: Parents, Children, and the Search for Identity, by Andrew Solomon. It was one of the most thought-provoking and empathetic books I've ever read. Quite long, but worth every minute. In some ways, you could read one chapter at a time as a stand-alone, but Solomon connects themes as he goes in ways that add even more depth. It changed me as a parent and a person.

Fiction: Tomorrow and Tomorrow and Tomorrow. Years later, I still think about it.
