The Magic Mountain by Thomas Mann
The Magic Mountain is a beast of a book. It’s not my favourite by Mann, but there are long stretches of unforgettable brilliance.

Helen Macdonald’s memoir of the period after her father’s death is so much more and hit me so much harder than I expected.

Old Man’s War by John Scalzi
John Scalzi’s first novel provides an update to a few sci-fi classics that have aged poorly. It’s fun, fast and addresses lasting themes.
