@Saddleworth2 - you have similar tastes to me - Tolkien, and Dickens is my favorite author. For modern stuff, I go for spy fiction and war biographies. I also enjoy historical fiction.
Rob recommended The Lies of Locke Lamora by Scott Lynch, and I listened to it last year (I do a lot of running, and listen to many audiobooks). It was my favorite book of last year, and I would go as far as to say it is amongst my favorite books ever. I heartily recommend it.
My second favorite book from last year was Dominion by C J Sansom. This is an alternative history thriller, with the Nazis in power having won WW2.
Just to check, is that that you read last year? As Dominion really rings a bell to me but from a few years ago.
