Neverwhere by Neil Gaiman. Really fun. Never read Gaiman before. I will be doing so now.
Hunt the Space Witch by Robert Silverberg. Book of short stories from the 1950s. They didn't age well.
Ready Player One by Ernest Cline. Great first book and the version I listened to was narrated by wilwheaton. Great work by both.
