The million dollar question. This one, I can do. Ghavrel Send a noteboard - 21/01/2024 01:40:13 AM

THE LIONS OF AL-RASSAN
THE LORD OF THE RINGS
A MEMORY CALLED EMPIRE (and sequel)
GIDEON THE NINTH (and sequels)
ANCILLARY JUSTICE (and sequels)
THE CRAFT SEQUENCE
THIS IS HOW YOU LOSE THE TIME WAR
THE TRAITOR BARU COMORANT (and sequels)
TO KILL A MOCKINGBIRD/GO SET A WATCHMAN
THE NAME OF THE ROSE

All of these changed me and/or the way I look at the world.

WHEEL OF TIME gets honorable mention for introducing me to all of you. Absolutely worth the slog for that alone. This community was a wonderful thing to grow up with.

'favorite' vs 'best' book aerocontrols - 22/01/2024 02:17:12 PM 273 Views
I interpreted this to mean best books we've read Tom - 22/01/2024 02:59:20 PM 310 Views

And I greatly appreciated your adjective 'favorite'. The Shrike - 22/01/2024 07:37:31 PM 286 Views
I wasn't qualifying it based on quality, or else it never would have made an honorable mention Ghavrel - 23/01/2024 06:22:26 AM 268 Views
I haven't read Go Set a Watchman, but what I've heard was... bad. Is it actually good? Legolas - 23/01/2024 05:27:31 PM 259 Views
I loved it because it tore my childhood hero to shreds in a way that I needed to see. Ghavrel - 23/01/2024 08:34:54 PM 272 Views
I'm gonna go out on a limb and guess that's why other people hated it, then. Legolas - 23/01/2024 09:23:53 PM 280 Views
You gotta read HARROW and NONA! Or Leckie's ANCILLARY JUSTICE. Ghavrel - 24/01/2024 04:36:57 AM 298 Views
I need to split fiction and non-fiction Tom - 22/01/2024 02:02:41 AM 329 Views

Cooper's DARK IS RISING and Jones' HOWL'S MOVING CASTLE would make my top 20 for sure. Ghavrel - 23/01/2024 06:26:38 AM 271 Views
And I just have to ask ... The Godfather the book??? Tom - 22/01/2024 02:07:12 AM 291 Views
Yeah you’re right. I shouldn’t have included it. *NM* damookster - 22/01/2024 02:12:09 AM 130 Views
Favorite Books. I too need to split between Fiction and Non-Fiction The Shrike - 22/01/2024 01:59:19 PM 305 Views
I loved SHOGUN so much as a teenager. No idea how it would hold up on a read today. Ghavrel - 23/01/2024 06:24:08 AM 261 Views
Same - and that also goes for Mists of Avalon. Even aside from the MZB ickiness. *NM* Legolas - 23/01/2024 05:29:02 PM 127 Views

The Red and the Black? Interesting... Legolas - 23/01/2024 05:24:57 PM 272 Views

All y'all are cheating by listing a series as one of your favorite books. LiterateDog - 25/01/2024 04:38:56 AM 322 Views
As I create my own list, I see I've made a mistake in my derision of the use of series. *NM* LiterateDog - 25/01/2024 05:04:43 AM 141 Views
