I think this is my pick as well, though I haven’t read as much this year as I usually do. I love pretty much anything by Ishiguro.

Also finally got around to reading Commonwealth, which I liked a lot.

Klara and the Sun was easily the best book that I have read in a couple of years. Everybody that I know who read it, loved it!

I really want to like Patrick Radden Keefe, but he reminds me of the old saying about good authors killing their darlings. He's a great researcher but his work contains so many loose research threads.

you might like his Winds of Change podcast. Such an interesting subject, but so many loose threads.

Loved this too, and the audio version is amazing!

This one was up there for me, but if I have to pick one - I’ll say City of Girls.

If you liked City of Girls ,I recommend the Seven Husbands of Evelyn Hugo !

I did really like that one, too!

And the other two books (you'll see certain characters appear in all the books) - Malibu Rising but the best one is Daisy Jones and the Six.

I did also like Daisy Jones! I haven’t read Malibu Rising yet, but I want to.

Klara and the Sun. Quietly scary and somehow, hopeful.
