Just finished ‘The Man who thought his wife was a hat’ by Oliver Sacks the Neurologist. An absolute eye opener to how strangely the brain can interpret the world. It’s worth a read albeit a tad dense in places.

I hope you're including audiobooks in this, in which case I'm currently halfway through 'The Tenant of Wildfell Hall' read by Alex Jennings and Jenny Agutter.
Best recent discovery, and out of my usual line of things (sci-fi) was Project Hail Mary, by Andy Weir.

A Time of Gifts by Patrick Leigh Fermor. My friend has been a fan for a long time, now I know why.

Thats a great series

If you like Peter V. Brett have you tried John Gwynne, the faithful and the fallen 4 book series, and, of blood and bone 3 book series. Plenty of blood and gore, game of thrones meets PV Brett!

"When the going was good'.

You probably have, but if you haven’t ‘The emerging mind’ a Reith Lecture from a few years is stunning.

The End of the World & Other Catastrophes. Anthology edited by Mike Ashley. Seemed quite timely.

 

[Nic Robinson]

The 3 part "Jesus: Mything in Action" by David Fitzgerald. A fastidiously footnoted and very scholarly rebuttal of the "every serious historian believes in a historical Jesus" trope.

 

[Aethelist]

Just finished The Godfather - Mario Puzo. First time in ages. Better than the movie in every way.
Currently on The Big Sleep - Raymond Chandler. Bargain at 71p on the Kindle ( have the Penguin 3 novels in one from the 80's in paperback on the bookshelf but the font is soo small I struggle to see it and can't concentrate nowadays)
