Lets see, Scfi- The Galatic Empire series by Asimov. Fiction, anything by Hemingway. Science, Astronomy saves the World and all of Sagan's works. LOTR stays at the top with a line behind it of astronomical proportions. After the divorce it took 87 medium sixe boxes from Lowes to pack the books up, so I have the same ability to pick books as a squirril crossing the road, oh look another book!

Their Eyes Were Watching God

You think the Old Yeller rabid scene is disturbing?

To Kill A Mockingbird is almost perfect.

Mark Twain deftly stuck a sword in racism with the words of an ignorant boy in Huck Finn.

I love Midnight In the Garden of Good and Evil because the author captured the spirit of a place I love so well.

The Great Gatsby American Love of Betrayal and Lies.

The Stand - Stephen King.

The Bible.

JOKING OF COURSE! LOL.

I would say "The Art of War" by Sun Tzu

Hitchhiker’s guide to the Galaxy

Catch-22 by Joseph Heller. Most outrageously creative book ever.

Generally, the one I am currently reading.

I don't know about you friend but it's hard for me to pick.

I used to be a bookseller and couldn't possibly narrow my favourite book down to one, or even a hundred. I imagine you're probably the same!

Cosmos by Carl Sagan

The Bible, great slapstick comedy, porn sequences, war, genocide, earth shattering parts. Hard to get all that wrapped up in one book.

The portrait of Dorian gray

silent spring by Rachel Carson

Great Expectations, Howard Zinns A Peoples History of the United States, Manufacturing Consent, ILLUSIONS- The Adventures of a Reluctant Messiah, and books by Chris Hedges . . .

LOTR, Sweet Thursday, the Rainbow, A Farewell to Arms, The Heart is a Lonely Hunter, The Sound and the Fury, the Pearl, the Glass Key, Lady in the Lake, the Maltese Falcon, sir Orfeo, the Blind Barber, The Brothers Karamazov, Notes From the Underground, the organon, the Principia Mathematica, on Liberty, The Menaechmi ..............

1984 - George Orwell.

American Gods, Neil Gaiman.

Still The White Goddess by Robert Graves. I was a religious believer when I first fell in love with that book but I ended up loving it just as much as an atheist as I did before.

Wow! My favorite book? I have hundreds of favorite books. Which is in the top 10? All of them.

I've audiobooked "God Is Not Great" like two times now.

"The Dictator's Handbook: Why Bad Behavior is Almost Always Good Politics" is another favorite. Several people complained it's too much like a textbook. It's pretty bleak and it will destroy any optimist notions of governance or human nature. I will not ever think about politicians or foreign aid programs the same.

Charles Kuralt - America
Carl Sagan - Contact
Walter Isakson - Franklin

Wow, way too many. I also read many different types of books. I have books that are fluffy for when I want to just chill, there are books when I really want to expand my knowledge or stretch my beliefs. Historical novels and mysteries are among my frequent go to. And I especially gravitate toward biographies and history about the 20's. I have been exposed to many stories about the Lost Generation and also the Bloomsbury Group in England. That's how I found out what an interesting man Leonard Woolf was.

Zen and the Art of Motorcycle Maintenance because its message was timely.

For fiction -- STEPPENWOLF by Hermann Hesse.
