For non-fiction, I've just finished reading Consciousness Explained by Dennett. I thought it was enjoyable overall, but my biggest criticism would be that it attacks a lot of idealist points I already consider to be absurd, so it's preaching to the choir in that sense. That aside, it does do some interesting analysis of how consciousness might plausibly work, and provides good thought experiments. Can definitely recommend to anyone interested in the subject.
On the fiction side, I'm just reading The Fisherman by John Langan, and it's an enjoyable Lovecraftian style horror if you're into that sort of thing.
