Excellent novels you'd like to recommend to other people
I remember reading this last year and I still think about it.

I was exposed to Hans Fallada mid 2015, started with Alone In Berlin and then The Drinker. All translated from German and all so beautiful and fucking depressing, just how I like my lit.

I liked this book a lot. If you're into female authors writing about the theater, I picked up Eleanor Catton's "The Rehearsal" off of a rec from this board and enjoyed the hell out of it. Lot of the same themes of life as theater and life mimicking art (and vice versa).
I also read Kent Haruf's "Our Souls at Night" off of this board - one of the few books I've ever read in a single setting. Beautiful book about two widowed old people that start spending nights together in the same bed, reflecting about their lives in a small town. Not Station Eleven... but I liked it a lot.
