I guess my favorite would be the Lord of the Rings collection. I have found it a must reread pretty much every few years of my life. Mostly nostalgia driven but that's okay.

@Acheron I think rereading them is lovely.

There's no best but some of my favorite are Martin Eden by Jack London, Roadside Picnic by Strugatsky brothers and Three Men in a Boat by Jerome K. Jerome

right now at this time 1984
The book is what Orwell thought the world might look like in the future. It describes a terrifying world where governments control and watch everyone's lives.
@markinkansas LBJ lied about the Gulf of Tonkin incident that justified the military invasion of Vietnam, all so he could give his Texas military industrial complex contract buddies more war profits, have you ever wondered WHY JFK was assassinated in Dallas, Texas? LBJ's home and the state where he was senior US Senator.

@NativePortlander1970 not at the moment.. i will listen.. i trust all goverments to be in there own self interest
@markinkansas Yet it's those in government that does the deeds, not the government itself.

@Harmonium1923 "Middlemarch" has been on my to be read list for a long time.
Harmonium1923 · 51-55, M
@robbie2499 It’s like a Jane Austen novel where the main characters marry the wrong people early on and then life gets challenging. Absolutely brilliant and true to life.
For whom the bell tolls by Ernest Hemingway

Moon; by James Herbert.
Dreamsnake by Vonda McIntyre...

They called the healer Snake and she bore the name proudly, for the medicine she distilled from the venom of the viper she carried with her was a portent cure and a soothing power to her other companion, the alien dream snake, banished fear. But the primitive ignorance of those she served killed her dream snake and wrecked her career - for dream snakes were rare and Center would not grant her another. Snake's only hope was to find another - and on her quest she was pursued by two followers, one driven by love and the other by fear and need.
