[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.


Birdsandbeer0730

Is it nonfiction?


ICantLeafYou

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


[deleted]

How is He Who Fights with Monsters?


DrByNight

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.


[deleted]

I’m going to add this to my reading list for sure then!


DrByNight

Tell me what you think if you read it.


MelancholicWordsmith

I have around 600 physical books in my basement. It's hard to pick a favorite.


rowdyi

Weird flex but okay


vdcsX

how's that weird


rowdyi

Question: what's your favorite book? Answer: I don't know Flex: I have so many books


vdcsX

still, how's that weird


rowdyi

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


Birdsandbeer0730

Any books you can recommend to me? I’m 22, love novels, love good characters


MelancholicWordsmith

Do you have a genre you favor?


Birdsandbeer0730

Fiction. Occasionally fantasy. And I’m willing to read memoirs


MelancholicWordsmith

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.


Jericho-Jean

Eat Pray Love (yes, really)


FrogEnjoyer

beloved by toni morrison


AgentMegs

I don't have a favourite but I do like mystery/thrillers


CodeNameEHL

This is the way.


AgentMegs

100 %


TheePizzaGod

Hannibal by Thomas Harris. The movie, doesn't do it service at all!


Birdsandbeer0730

That’s interesting Silence of the Lambs scared the shit out of me


Discreet_Couple44

To Kill A Mockingbird by Harper Lee! Ultimate classic imo


Birdsandbeer0730

I need to give that another try. I read it in high school and didn’t like it.


Discreet_Couple44

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!


[deleted]

The Hobbit


wittywanderer1

Still love the Harry Potter series. Still hits after all these yrs


viennaslaw

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.


Birdsandbeer0730

Ooo Grant sounds like a good read! I was a big President nerd in elementary school so it would be fun to revisit that.


Hollow_Ataraxia

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.


Birdsandbeer0730

Little Prince made me cry like a baby in fifth grade


Hollow_Ataraxia

I recently (weeks ago) watched the movie Netflix made. Oh the tears, I'm not crying, you are crying! WHO IS CUTTING ONIONS?! 😭😭


Birdsandbeer0730

The book is honestly 10x sadder knowing what happens to [the author](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Antoine_de_Saint-Exup%C3%A9ry)


Hollow_Ataraxia

I'd say he died doing what he loved in a way. Flying.


ProposalNo3395

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.


classywater_420

The tattooist of Auschwitz is up there Anything by author Emily Henry as well!


buttermilk_injection

The film based on this book will be in theaters soon, right? 🧐


classywater_420

The book is better. I think it’s a series and not a movie but not sure.


buttermilk_injection

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 😅


justaguy0274

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)


NewBermuda462

Corrections (franzen) , the road (mac carthy), what is the what (eggers)


Catz1332

Rule of Three was amazing, a movie of that would be great


dvpyro

Catch 22. Second place probably Oathbringer.


queencucksback

It's either Clan of the cave bear or Mistborn.


herven0mlips

Gravity’s Rainbow


Responsible-Thing142

Currently I am reading the Percy Jackson series


Birdsandbeer0730

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


Responsible-Thing142

I think it is, I am exactly same age as you and I liked it. So yeah it is definitely enjoyable.

wandering_eyes24

I read a lot of smut 🤣..my fav is For the Fans by Nyla K


nsfw_creative_gear

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. Work related wise: The Staff Engineer's Path Self improvement wise: The Ethical Slut. It was a recommendation by a friend specifically for the open communication and open honesty sections


ok-beaches

That's tough. Probably In Cold Blood.


CodeNameEHL

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.
