To continue the Ishiguro and Hemingway theme, two of the books I enjoyed most this year were The Buried Giant (Ishiguro) and The Old Man and the Sea (Hemingway).

Short stories from Nocturnes are good as well.

Seconding Murakami. The Remains Of The Day is the best book I read this year. It talks through a lot of ideas I see get mentioned on HN.

The movie adaptation starring Anthony Hopkins and Emma Thompson is also excellent.
