    I dislike classical literature and these threads are usually littered with pretentious answers 😂

    Give me a trashy thriller any day. The Breach by Patrick Lee is one of the best sci-fi thrillers I’ve ever read

      People who only list classics are super sus. Makes me think they don’t actually read and they’re only saying those books because they were forced to read them in high school while the teacher spoonfed interpretations and analysis.

        Honestly, I think it’s an impossible question. Like, how do you pick a favorite book that isn’t an absolute arbitrary answer to begin with? I don’t even think I could narrow it down if you asked by author. Like, which Piers Anthony book is my favorite? Damned if I know.

        That’s why people go for classics. Because it isn’t answerable.
