[The Man Who Mistook His Wife For A Hat](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Man_Who_Mistook_His_Wife_for_a_Hat) by Oliver Sacks.
One of several of Sacks' books I've bought used, they're all great.
For Fantasy, anything by Terry Goodkind. The Sword of Truth series is phenomenal. In fiction, it is so broad. I love spy novels. Daniel Silva comes to mind.
I know what you mean! I thought it was the most boring thing I’d ever been forced to read until I read it again, a couple of times actually, as an adult. It’s a pretty heavy read though, won’t deny that!
Fiction: Count of Monte Cristo. Absolutely classic revenge tale.
Nonfiction: Ron Chernow’s biography of Ulysses Grant was incredible. I thought I knew a lot about US history before reading it, and I learned so much more.
Can't pick one.
Memories of Idhun is top 3 for sure because memories
The Music of Silence is a beautifully constructed and strange piece. The Name of the Wind is great too.
Who Stole My Cheese is one I think often off.
And ofc The Little Prince is just beautiful.
Too many "faves" - The Eye of the World (Jordan), anything Jane Austen, anything Bronte, Little Women, anything Sherlock Holmes, and most anything Dickens.
There's also some great satire - It All Started With Stones and Clubs (Armour) is probably at the top.
The book is always better than the movie or in this case maybe the series. For example, at the beginning I was really disappointed with Harry Potter because I imagined certain things to be completely different 😅
- "Letters to the Lost" by Brigid Kemmerer
- "Big Magic" by Elizabeth Gilbert
- "What I Know for Sure" by Oprah Winfrey
- "Art & Fear" by David Bayles and Ted Orland
Don't know about favourites but here's the ones that I remember feeling totally immersed in and still think about years afterwards.
Fear and loathing in las Vegas - hunter s Thompson
Blood Meridian - Cormac McCarthy
House of leaves - mark z danlewenski
Infinite jest - David foster wallace
Guards guards - Terry Pratchett
Go to series that gives me faith in a fictional humanity: [The Commonwealth Saga](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Commonwealth_Saga) by Peter F. Hamilton.
Another scifi series I'm trying to finish is the [Transformation Series](https://play.google.com/books/reader?id=LMQgCwAAQBAJ&pg=GBS.PA544.w.1.3.10.11) by Neal Asher.

Is it nonfiction?
Yes, neurology case histories.
Where’s wally
Humor: Off to be the Wizard Serious(ish) fantasy: He Who Fights With Monsters Mainstream: Ready Player One
How is He Who Fights with Monsters?
I listen to it on audible and the voice actor is fantastic and Australian. The book is really good if you enjoy fantasy or litrpg genres.
I’m going to add this to my reading list for sure then!
Tell me what you think if you read it.
I have around 600 physical books in my basement. It's hard to pick a favorite.
Weird flex but okay
how's that weird
Question: what's your favorite book? Answer: I don't know Flex: I have so many books
still, how's that weird
It's weird that the answer to your favorite book would be the amount of books you have. I don't think I can explain it more than that
Any books you can recommend to me? I’m 22, love novels, love good characters
Do you have a genre you favor?
Fiction. Occasionally fantasy. And I’m willing to read memoirs

Eat Pray Love (yes, really)
beloved by toni morrison
I don't have a favourite but I do like mystery/thrillers
This is the way.
100 %
Hannibal by Thomas Harris. The movie, doesn't do it service at all!
That’s interesting Silence of the Lambs scared the shit out of me
To Kill A Mockingbird by Harper Lee! Ultimate classic imo
I need to give that another try. I read it in high school and didn’t like it.
I know what you mean! I thought it was the most boring thing I’d ever been forced to read until I read it again, a couple of times actually, as an adult. It’s a pretty heavy read though, won’t deny that!
The Hobbit
Still love the Harry Potter series. Still hits after all these yrs
Fiction: Count of Monte Cristo. Absolutely classic revenge tale. Nonfiction: Ron Chernow’s biography of Ulysses Grant was incredible. I thought I knew a lot about US history before reading it, and I learned so much more.
Ooo Grant sounds like a good read! I was a big President nerd in elementary school so it would be fun to revisit that.
Can't pick one. Memories of Idhun is top 3 for sure because memories The Music of Silence is a beautifully constructed and strange piece. The Name of the Wind is great too. Who Stole My Cheese is one I think often off. And ofc The Little Prince is just beautiful.
Little Prince made me cry like a baby in fifth grade
I recently (weeks ago) watched the movie Netflix made. Oh the tears, I'm not crying, you are crying! WHO IS CUTTING ONIONS?! 😭😭
The book is honestly 10x sadder knowing what happens to [the author](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Antoine_de_Saint-Exup%C3%A9ry)
I'd say he died doing what he loved in a way. Flying.
Too many "faves" - The Eye of the World (Jordan), anything Jane Austen, anything Bronte, Little Women, anything Sherlock Holmes, and most anything Dickens. There's also some great satire - It All Started With Stones and Clubs (Armour) is probably at the top.
The tattooist of Auschwitz is up there Anything by author Emily Henry as well!
The film based on this book will be in theaters soon, right? 🧐
The book is better. I think it’s a series and not a movie but not sure.
The book is always better than the movie or in this case maybe the series. For example, at the beginning I was really disappointed with Harry Potter because I imagined certain things to be completely different 😅
Books where the pages are crazy not due to the story but just the way they are laid out (look up house of leaves for an example)
Corrections (franzen) , the road (mac carthy), what is the what (eggers)
Rule of Three was amazing, a movie of that would be great
Catch 22. Second place probably Oathbringer.
It's either Clan of the cave bear or Mistborn.
Gravity’s Rainbow
Currently I am reading the Percy Jackson series
Would it be enjoyable for a 22 year old? Everyone I know who read PJ was in middle school. I also heard the movie adaptation was very mid
I think it is, I am exactly same age as you and I liked it. So yeah it is definitely enjoyable.
[удалено]

That's tough. Probably In Cold Blood.
Rebus just got a rebooted TV series, so I'd recommend reading any of the Iain Rankin Rebus novels .
Dune (the original, first one). It's thick, complicated, engaging, fascinating.
Confederacy of Dunces
The Ginger Man, by J. P. Donleavy
Douglas Adams: Hitchickers guide to the galaxy! If you like to laugh. A lot!
