I'll third Invisible Cities and The Summer Book.

I would like to nominate Runaway by Alice Munro (last year's Nobel Prize winner as you all probably know).

From Kobo:

The matchless Munro makes art out of everyday lives in this exquisite collection. Here are men and women of wildly different times and circumstances, their lives made vividly palpable by the nuance and empathy of Munro's writing. Runaway is about the power and betrayals of love, about lost children, lost chances. There is pain and desolation beneath the surface, like a needle in the heart, which makes these stories more powerful and compelling than anything she has written before

I'm away from home for a few days so won't be able to participate quite as easily as usual, but should be able to check in once a day.
