If you were allowed to read only one more book for the rest of your life, which would it be?

Harry Potter.... I think I would go with Sorcerer's Stone like the previous PP.

OP, add Straight Man by Richard Russo to your list.

Audible gifted Invisible Man and I'm a little blown away, which I wasn't when I read it 20 years ago.

Also, recently read (actually, listened to) The Corrections for the first time and I think it's genius.

It was my favorite, too!

Anna Karenina because it's really long and dense so I could probably reread it a few times. But if you just mean top favorite book that I would definitely recommend, that's a different story

Yeah, I think that is why you see this one in hotels.....it is universal I suppose!

No you see it in hotels because the Jehovah's Witnesses paid to put one in every hotel room as part of their proselytizing

Yes! This book was fantastic

OP here - yes, I read this book. Never thought I would like it but I LOVED it!!

Well for me if I could only have one book for the rest of my life it would be poetry... Leaves of Grass.

But if I had to pick a novel, I'd say like other people, my favorite of all time is One Hundred Years of Solitude.
