Finally figured this one out

Of this year's reads so far I loved Childhood's End the most. Imagine a world where everybody could have whatever they wanted. Quite some effect this would have.

The other I really liked is Metatropolis - a collection of short stories set in a not too distant future where resources are scarce but humans have not changed their ways. Originally an audiobook exclusive, this has also been published in writing.

The Legend of Drizzt (Homeland, Exile, Sojourn) is really a bit much meeting bad beasties and battling them.

The Bazaar of Bad Dreams - also a collection of short stories - includes a few good ones, but nothing that really blew me away.

The Three Body Problem was very good as well. The setting in China with the cultural revolution angle was really interesting. Looking forward to reading the sequel.
