The Source by the James Michener. I love historical fiction.

I love hitchhikers guide to the galaxy so much. Reading what if soon.

Addition:

At the moment I’m currently reading The Way of Kings by Brandon Sanderson

Travel:
Into the Heart of Borneo - Redmond O'Hanlon. He was a pasty, British, natural history book REVIEWER, until his editor had the brilliant idea to torture him by packing him up and sending him to Borneo for a month.

In Trouble Again - Redmond O'Hanlon. Freshly surviving Borneo, his editor sends him to the Amazon for TWICE as long.

These two books are bright, funny, and immensely readable. You will be tempted to follow them with his 3rd book "No Mercy: A Journey to the Heart of the Congo." Be aware this one is neither bright, nor funny. He and his crew barely survived, it's an amazing story, but a super tough read.

Road Fever - Tim Cahill. Hired by General Motors for a promotional stunt, Cahill and his co-pilot/co-driver Garry Sowerby drive a show-truck from the tip of Argentina to Prudhoe Bay, Alaska, as fast as possible.

Still probably Birthday of the World, by Le Guin. Short story compilation, particularly enjoyable if you're familiar with her other work. Finishes with one of my fav generation ship stories.

Honorable mention for Kushiel's Dart being my all-time favorite piece of guilty-pleasure reading.

My all time favourite would be Blood Meridian, but very close would be A Canticle for Liebowitz, A Clockwork Orange, and Slaughterhouse 5. All brilliant books, and the last two are very short as well.

Canticle hits my post apocalypse and medieval loving brain in exactly the right spot, Clockwork is so challenging at first but the immersion is ridiculous, and Slaughterhouse is a brilliant piece of unreliable narrator fiction.

East of Eden, hands down. That said, it’s hard to explain why (a short description of this book will always sound dull and boring)—I suppose it’s the character development. It’s truly something else.

Anna Karenina, but not because of Anna (she’s kind of a dickhead); because of Levin. So good.

The book that made me fall in love with reading was "City of The Beasts" from Isabel Allende. I picked it up because my dad had left it lying around, and I completely fell in love. Not only with Isabel Allende, but with reading.

And my favorite book is "One Hundred Years Of Solitud". The first time I read it, was pre internet, so I would write down the name of the characters, to keep track of the family tree. It was just so beautiful, and it really opened me up to fantasy.

I loved the Murderbot series it was amazing

@DuskLoaf
Lord Of The Rings series, Dan Brown's Robert Langdon series and the Harry Potter series I re-read a lot still.

Mine is "Blood Meridian" by Cormac McCarthy. A poetic and brutal read, the language is really fascinating and it always gives me a lot to think about.

80% of these are gonna be Lord of the Rings lmao

I just finished Endurance, a pretty fun classic nonfiction about a dangerous trans-Antarctica trip. I think it’s pretty well known but I hadn’t heard of it until I read it.

Ender's game is a book I can always pick up and read through in one or two sittings. The rest of the serieses maybe not as much.

Also anything Jonathan safran foer.

Edit: foundation and anathem are also gems.

Non-fiction: The Demon-Haunted world by Carl Sagan. A must-read for anyone.
