 I love the Mitch Rapp series by Vince Flynn and two other authors after his death. 
 I am going to be shameless.

Read my story.  It is a work in progress.

And not behind a paywall. 
 If might help if you linked to your story.

 Fiction: "Mania" by Lionel Shriver

Non-fiction: "Essentialism: The Disciplined Pursuit of Less" by Greg McKeown 
 Somewhere in between, I am reading The Flowering Wand, and really really loving it! 
 Non- fiction was probably "Argentarius - Vom Gelde"
Fiction I only read "Us" by Jewgeni Samjatin. It was a good read though. 
 Hannah Coulter by Wendell Berry

It will make you long for the simple beauty of agrarian Appalachia. It shows how hard it is to raise kids, lose loved ones, work hard and live a good life. 

One of my favorite fiction books ever. 
 Fiction - Shogun by James Clavell 

Non Fiction - Living in the Tao: The Effortless Path of Self-Discovery by Mantak Chia

The best nonfiction book I read this year was SoftWar, by Jason Lowery.  Mind blowing! 
 Fiction: Red Rising
Non: The Order of Time 
 Non-fiction: Good things happen slowly by Fred Hersch, an autobiography by an amazing pianist where he talks about his upbringing, musical life, sexuality, love and sickness.
