Dune and Rant. 10 years ago I would have said On the Road, however when I read it again, it was not as magical as the first time.

For an easy, enjoyable read I always reach for Brave New World or Treasure Island.
My favourite books are either the Odyssey or Shakespeare's complete works (technically 3 books in the version I have).

I've been reading a few biographies lately.
If Chin Could Kill - By Bruce Campbell. One of the funniest book I've read. Really worth it. Love the chapter where he bought his car from a friend...
Up until Now - By William Shatner. There's more to Bill Shatner than Captain Kirk. It's a fair chunk of his life but he did some things around it and I'm curious to watch those now.

the Holy Bible
x2 KJV for me..
"The word of God is like salt it will cure and preserve you or it will sting you if you have a wound."
Does that mean I should try very hard to eliminate it from my diet?
lol.. I don't think it would help...
"Ye are the salt of the earth:"
mankind gives flavor to the world

worked for me
"Salt is good, but if salt has lost its taste, how shall its saltiness be restored?"
"Let us then with confidence draw near to the throne of grace, that we may receive mercy and find grace to help in time of need."
I just finished reading "Unbroken" by Laura Hillenbrand. It's the best non-fiction book I have ever read. It is a page turner and of course a true story which makes it even more interesting.
Winds of War
koba the dread, martin amis.
Two are right up there:
Hemingway's Old Man and the Sea and Rand's Atlas Shrugged
Cheers!

'The Rachel Papers' was a formative experience. All male readers over a certain age have a great fondness for Mart, it seems.
My favourite American book is A Confederacy of Dunces (see username), made me lol IRL more than any book other than Three Men in a Boat.

The Jeeves and Wooster series of books by P.G. Wodehouse.
i am a big fan of martin amis, the way he writes and tells stories is very human and retrospecting at the same time, he goes deep.
I will also give a shout out to The Name of the Rose.
You also can't go wrong with Pat Conroy. My favorite would be Lords of Discipline.
Favorite would be Infinite Jest by David Foster Wallace.
