What books, that I have not previously read, will I enjoy reading by EOY 2024?

Any number of books may resolve YES or NO. Anything I haven't tried by close of 2024 will resolve N/A.

Mainly looking for fiction, which is most of the long-form media that I consume these days. A lucky or skilled suggestion for nonfiction is still eligible.

If you suggest something I've already read, but already liked or didn't like, I will N/A the option immediately, but give feedback on what the result was.

(Rushing this out to beat the end of N/A resolutions being permitted, without which a policy prediction market doesn't work. If N/A resolutions on existing markets are due to be closed down, I may close down and N/A this one early.)
