Number 1: 'Butter' by Asako Yuzuki
MAN can I not get my mind off of it. The way characters change and grow, how they realize what sort of people they are, and how it all fits in our modern world. It's length, while daunting, is totally worth the excellent read!

Number 2: 'Babel' by R.F. Kuang
Something I like about R.F. Kuangs writing is that you get half-way through the book and go 'Surely this is it?' and yet once you reach the end you smack yourself for not realizing the obvious conclusion. 'Babel' is no exception, and certainly worth a go.

Number 3: 'Piranesi' by Susanna Clarke
What can I say about 'Piranesi' that hasn't already? It's hard to really explain why it is so captivating. Clarke does an excellent job of making you care about the world Piranesi lives in, that when the plot starts you almost miss it. Short and sweet.

Number 4: 'Butcher's Crossing' by John Williams
Often compared to 'Blood Meridian' and not without reason, this western is a really confronting and violent look at the brutality of an industrialized world. Each gun shot feels impactful, each dead animal tragic. A solid read throughout and through.

Number 5: 'The Martian' by Andy Weir
You just have to keep reading this one. It fully grasps the idea of suspenseful story telling: Not 'Do they get home', but 'HOW DO they get home'? Every problem is solved with a satisfying solution, and the comedy throughout is hilarious.
