Tad Williams low key you get no GOT or GRRM without him. If you ever read the memory, sorrow and thorn series of books you basically see where much of the inspiration for GOT came from

No love for Dave Eggers? A Heartbreaking Work of Staggering Genius was so so excellent, and there were sentences in You Shall Know Our Velocity! that made me weep with joy.

I've been loving Andy Weir's space trilogy (The Martian, Artemis, Project Hail Mary). I haven't been able to put his books down, and another one of his stories is currently in production for a film.
