I mostly read non-fiction, but every once in a while it is nice to immerse yourself in an entertaining and easy to understand novel. One of these that I have liked best is The Body Snatchers by Jack Finney. This is the book that the Invasion of the Body Snatchers movies were based on.

It takes place in a cozy 1950s California town called Mill Valley. The protagonist is a young doctor. His beautiful companion is named Becky. But all is not well in Mill Valley, people are beginning to suspect that some of their friends and loved ones are being impersonated by imposters. Moderately suspenseful conspiracy uncovering ensues.

Post similar if you got em.

Tank #2 Fortress eagle, by David Williams. My first wargamey type army book. Read it while long distance hiking in the down time. Pretty good, very pulpy.

On a more serious note, you might enjoy Nonstop by Brian Aldiss. Or High Rise by JG Ballard

They got those book lending boxes around my town and I picked up pic rel different cover though. Easy read the version I had contained decent illustrations. I mostly would read it before bed to fall asleep.

What is the cutoff point between light and heavy fiction, in your opinion?  I am also a primarily non-fiction reader, but I read The Expanse series with one of my friends recently and I seriously enjoyed it.  I generally don't seek out Sci-Fi, but I found the series to be truly entertaining.
