So far I've read:
The Sentence by Louise Erdrich
Tehrangeles by Porochista Khakpour
Terry Dactyl by Mattilda Bernstein Sycamore
-all of which I liked to some extent. MBS is an author I already knew and loved.
I can look up lists myself, of course, but I'm curious what other people have read and enjoyed? Has anyone read Delphi by Clare Pollard and recommend it?

Tom Lake
I should add, I’m hoping for not too genre-y books, but if there’s a particularly good mystery/romance/thriller, I’ll give it a try.
The Names
Bat Eater and Other Names for Cora Zeng
Dream Count by Chimamanda Ngozi Adichie
The Best Way to Bury Your Husband by Alexia Casale
The Madness of Crowds by Louise Penny (it is the 17th book in the Armand Gamache series so it doesn’t completely work as a standalone)
* And as someone already mentioned, Tom Lake by Ann Patchett
The Wedding People
Wish You Were Here – Jodi Picoult
Holly by Stephen King
Our Country Friends by Gary Shteyngart. Middling goodreads rating but I really enjoyed it
The Kaiju Preservation Society by John Scalzi (scifi story set during 2020 in NYC)
