I'm making my way through the Strugastky brothers' works, found out about them through roadside picnic but i just finished "Monday starts on Saturday" and enjoyed it just as much. Edit to add: it's a science fiction novel from the perspective of a soviet programmer who stumbles into magic. He meets a lot of people for whom magic is mundane, and the book does such an awesome job describing his confusion and curiosity vs everybody elses acceptance of it as day-to-day. Its also super funny :)

Just finished The Lathe of Heaven by Ursula K LA Guin, which was absolutely fantastic but so is all her books. Techincally Sci-fi but only in the loosest sense to describe sociology and the narcissism involved in thinking one person can "fix the world".

Highly recommend.
