Envoy Extraordinary by William Golding - Read this one in 2015. Often funny, sometimes extremely witty and also interesting.
Consider Her Ways by John Wyndham - Read this one in 2015. Other than being a little repetitious, this was great. The ending was especially satisfying but the philosophical debate was great.
