Hello Hacker News! I don't read enough fiction and I'd love to get your input on some good books, be it science fiction or otherwise, that have expanded your mind, made you think or that you think are a fantastic read.

Feel free to just add a title/author or even a short review.

Happy Christmas!

My usual recommendation for HN crowd is Harry Potter and the Methods of Rationality(http://hpmor.com). If you haven't read it - you definitely should, it's absolutely amazing. Incredibly fun and life-changing.

I have also recently finished reading The Martian, and I have really enjoyed it. It's one of the best fictional books I've read during the past year.

Another great story I want to recommend is The Metropolitan Man - http://fictionhub.io/story/the-metropolitan-man

Now I am reading Ra by Sam Hughes(https://qntm.org/ra), it is about the world where magic is a branch of science, and is treated as engineering. Very interesting so far.
