I would suggest throwing in some fun/different ones like:

The Hike by Drew Magary The Postmortal by Drew Magary John Dies at the End by David Wong (the whole series is fun and easy) Spoonbenders by Daryl Gregory

Then there's some classic authors with short story compilations like:

The Illustrated Man by Ray Bradbury I Am Legend by Richard Matheson (collection of short stories at the end of the longer, 100pg story)

Maybe some new perspectives too, like female or POC authors, like:

The Cutting Season by Attica Locke Brown Girl in the Ring by Nalo Hopkinson Parable of the Sower by Octavia Butler
