Klara and the Sun by Kazuo Ishiguro. It's about an AI, which is becoming an important future possibility, and it's newer than what I usually read. I wonder if it's more shallow-entertaining like Her, or more serious like Asimov's robot stories. Or maybe an entirely new take?

Unsong by Scott Alexander. Yes, the famous blogger with original takes on society, politics, and philosophy. Will his solid reasoning and surprising conclusions carry over into a long writing form?

Glasshouse by Charles Stross. No other reason than it's been recommended as a series here: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=33146896 , and I'm done with the previous entries.

The Kalevala by the Finns. One of the four ancient epics. Even if a bit of a slog, it's a refreshing change from modern reads. https://sacred-texts.com/neu/kveng/kvrune15.htm

Type-Driven Development with Idris by Edwin Brady - Idris seems different enough from the mainstream that learning it might prove eye-opening. Or spoil me for coding in normal languages forever. A bit of a gamble, this one.
