I've just finished Way Station by Clifford D Simak, the 1964 Hugo winner. I kind of liked it. It was offbeat and contemplative SF, with a hint of fantasy, about a man who has secretly run an intergalactic teleported station for a hundred years without ageing.
Before that I read The Secret Adversary by Agatha Christie. Her second novel, and fairly minor, but easy to read and quite enjoyable. More action-packed than you might expect.
And before that I read Ready Player One by Ernest Cline. It annoyed me a bit at first with its geekish pandering, but once the story kicks into top gear it's a great ride.
