Hey everyone, I'm really looking to dive into more modern literature. I'm talking books from the past 5-10 years that have made a big impact or have been well received. Any suggestions for novels or authors that really reflect today's world or have a fresh take on storytelling? What are some of your recent favorites? I'm open to all genres!

I really liked Martyr! by Kaveh Akbar and Educated by Tara Westover!
Piranesi by Susanna Clarke, Milkman by Anna Burns and The Vanishing Half by Brit Bennett are the first three that come to mind.
From the past 5-10ish years I would definitely recommend:
Cloud Cuckoo Land and All the Light We Cannot See by Anthony Doer
Tomorrow and Tomorrow and Tomorrow by Gabrielle Zevin
Demon Copperhead by Barbara Kingsolver
Demon Copperhead
James by Percival Everett
Also Commonwealth by Ann Patchett
