The First Fifteen Lives of Harry August[1] by Claire North is the first book that jumps to mind when asked this question.
The Bobiverse series[2] by Dennis E. Taylor is a great fun read or audiobook (I've done both!).
The Xandri Corelel[3] series by Kaia Sønderby. I read both books and immediately started looking around to see if there were more.
I Am Not a Serial Killer[4] by Dan Wells was an enjoyable surprise.
The Martian and Project Hail Mary by Andy Weir.
Of older vintage that I find I've revisited over the years are:
The Chrysalids[5] by John Wyndham.
The White Mountains, The City of Gold and Lead, and The Pool of Fire which comprise The Tripod Trilogy[6] by John Christopher.
And the oft mentioned Dune by Frank Herbert is a book a reread every few years. Love the first book, don't care for the rest that much.
Favourite authors in general would have to include the following: Robert Sawyer, Timothy Zahn (when he's not writing Star Wars stuff), Michael Connelly, and Harlan Coben. Always enjoyable reads.

- Anthony-G 5y ago> I Am Not a Serial Killer by Dan Wells was an enjoyable surprise. I saw the film adaptation¹ in a local cinema without knowing anything about it beforehand and was very pleasantly surprised by this gem of a film. Thanks for the reminder; I must check out the book. ¹ https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/I_Am_Not_a_Serial_Killer_(film) https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/I_Am_Not_a_Serial_Killer_(film...
- helloworld11 5y agoI have the exact same book come to mind as first choice. "The First 15 lives of Harry August" was absurdly good.. Her other book "Touch" isn't too bad either. The Harry August book is somewhat similar to another one that I also very much recommend. It's called "Replay", by Ken Grimwood
