@EugeneCScott I'm in a fiction book club, and it has me reading some eclectic stuff. But I've really enjoyed short stories by George Saunders: Tenth of December, A Swim in a Pond in the Rain, Liberation Day. By other authors, I also like Deacon King Kong, Sabrina and Corina, and The Sellout.

The Storyteller, the autobiography of Dave Grohl, is absolutely delightful. He reads the audiobook himself, and his vibrant spirit is contagious. Highly recommend.
