I finished MR-favourite The Martian by Andy Weir a couple of days ago. I enjoyed it, but maybe not as much as some people round here.
Now I'm reading City of Stairs by Robert Jackson Bennett, which I like a lot so far. It's a fantasy spy thriller. The tech level is unusually high for a secondary-world fantasy - with trains, gas lighting, some cars and limited firearms - but magic is definitely real, and gods definitely did walk the earth until quite recently. It's about a diplomat investigating a murder, with some complications and a great sidekick. I'm coming up to half way through and looking forward to finding out what happens next.
