Do you have any favorite books?
I’ve probably answered this before, but I’m too lazy to search the archive.
- The Name of the Rose (Umberto Eco)
- The Three-Body Problem (Liu Cixin)
- The Republic (Plato)
- From Hell (Alan Moore & Eddie Campbell)
- The Swerve (Stephen Greenblatt)
- The Restaurant at the End of the Universe (Douglas Adams)
- Guards! Guards! (Terry Pratchett)
- The Great and Secret Show (Clive Barker)
- The Dunwich Horror (H.P. Lovecraft)
- Summer Blonde (Adrian Tomine)
- The Secret Diary of Laura Palmer (Jennifer Lynch)
- The Sandman: Brief Lives (Neil Gaiman & Jill Thompson)

- Tales of a 4th Grade Nothing (Judy Blume)
- Mrs. Brisby and the Rats of NIMH (Robert C. O’Brien)
- Mission Earth: The Invaders Plan (L. Ron Hubbard)
NOTE: You said “favorite”, not “best”… at least one of the above isn’t even good, and several are problematic. But they’re all things that impacted me in lasting, memorable ways, for better or worse.
