I think the book is a couple of years old, but I just read “Anxious People” by Fredrik Backman, and while it took awhile to hook me, it ended up very enjoyable. The best I’ve read so far this year.

I reread Fahrenheit 451 by Ray Bradbury, which is one of my favorite books. But for a first read I would have to say A Storm of Swords by George Martin. ASOIAF is really one of the best fantasy series ever written.
