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.

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


You mean Gideons.

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

It was my favorite, too!

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.

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.
