I’ll second anything Stephen King and Kurt Vonnegut.
King’s 11/22/63 is excellent. The Stand is one of my favorites - I read the unedited version years ago in four days while I was on vacation (at home). Pre-kids. I can highly recommend the Bill Hodges trilogy - Mr. Mercedes, Finders Keepers, End Of Watch. I’ve read a lot of King, and still have a lot to go - and there’s a new one out tom’w.
Not mentioned here, but I can also recommend anything by Christopher Moore. Very funny writer. Lamb (the story of Biff, Jesus’ best friend) is a favorite. Also the early vampire-ish books. Noir was much stronger for me than I’d have guessed - it’s largely about the art world around Van Gogh, but it really hooked me.
Sticking to the really good stuff I’ve read in the last few months:
Letters From An Astrophysicist by Neil DeGrasse Tyson. Man, there are some whackos out there, but Tyson deals with them very politely.
Cuckoo’s Calling by Robert Galbraith (J.K. Rowling). First book in the C.B. Strike series, which was also a series on Cinemax. It’s been a while since I saw the first season, so I’d forgotten a lot of what happens in the book. Held my attention quite well.
A Platinum Producer’s Life In Music by Ted Templeman. Just what it says. Covers his work with - among others - the Doobie Brothers, Nicolette Larson, Van Morrison - and especially Van Halen. There are times he comes across as a little egotistical, but for the most part he backs it up. Lots of behind the scene stories.
Creativity by John Cleese. Very short book, but pretty insightful. There were a lot of things about creativity that he talked about that felt like they nailed me. Some good tips, too.
Do You Feel Like I Do by Peter Frampton. Great autobiography. Again, lots of great stories and background.
