For me it has to be Berserk. Not an actual book, I know, but it has the best story I've ever consumed, it being books, movies, games, you name it. Berserk takes the crown

That's good by me. A story is a story.
The Murder of Roger Ackroyd. I was going to complain about having to only choose one book before realizing that it pretty much always came back to that. The honorable mentions are all stuff that comes with a message like The Giver or The Samurai's Garden, which I do recommend. But I'm a sucker for a good mystery and TMORA was a good exercise in thinking outside of the box.
Please feel free to list any book you think worth listing! No limits on how many.
Empire of Normality, Neurodiversity and capitalism by Robert Chapman
It's about the normalization of the human centered on eugenic and how it serves the capitalism to the detrimental of the neurodiversity and the neurodivergents.
I mostly read series, and my favorite is Malazan Book of the Fallen by Steven Erikson. The Silo series by Hugh Howey a close second.
I'm not really someone who reads many standalone books, because I love getting lost in epic/long stories (for this same reason I barely ever watch movies and stick with series in stead), and I hate how by the time I'm really getting into a book, suddenly it's over.. But hmm, for a standalone book I'd have to go with The Book Thief by Zusak (which btw, never seen the movie, maybe I should sometimes).
Ender's Game by Orson Scott Card
Snow Crash - Niel Stephenson
Choke - Chuck Palahnuik
Timeline - Michael Chricton
It's hard to pick which one I like the best.
I'm probably just a basic bitch but I reread Frankenstein as an adult and it hits.
It very much does! Good choice.
Lord Valentine’s Castle by Robert Silverberg
Am I allowed to have a few? Because I can’t pick just one haha: Priory of the Orange Tree, Jane Eyre, Lord of the Rings series, A Song of Ice and Fire series (yes, even after the season that will not be named), Fingersmith, Rebecca, Redwall series. There’s more, but I feel like this is too many already 😅
I have Devil House in my to read pile! I’m going to put it at the top of the stack now

My favourite book is hands down the scorpio races by maggie stiefvater. I've read that book so many times I've lost count now
Great title!
