I have a few, my top three are:
The Stand by Stephen King Anne of Green Gables by LM Montgomery (I actually starting collecting copies of this one when I find a copy in a used bookstore) The Namesake by Jhumpa Lahiri __________________ “I wish there was a way to know you’re in the good old days, before you’ve actually left them.” – Andy Bernard “I’m not superstitious, but I am a little stitious.” – Michael Scott |

The stand was good, been a long long time since I read it.

I read The Stand when I was 14 but it was a tough read for me because of other distractions in my life. I’ve been thinking of re reading it but not now because I feel like it’s too scary with everything going on. I read Carrie (my first SK book) and Pet Semetary twice but I haven’t read one of his since 2016.

The Four Fires, by Bryce Courtenay. Keep rereading it, and it never gets old.

Ah jeeze, there's no way I can pick just one favorite. Heck, I couldn't even pick a favorite author I have so many I love.

It’s so hard to pick one. I read a lot.
Probably would be short stories by Anton Chekhov. Any of his stories. They just stay with you for life. And I also think of favorites are the ones I could read and reread. There are authors I read and reread many times. Chekhov is one of them. I also really like Coetzee, especially autobiographical Boyhood and Youth. He is South African writer, currently living in Australia. |

I like metaphysical books the best. I never remember stories. My favorite is Change Me Prayers by Tosha Silver.

Gosh, there are many all right. But three books which I found very, very fascinating and illuminating and which I first read in my teens and early twenties are (I only read non fiction):
Cosmos by Carl Sagan A Criminal History Of Mankind by Colin Wilson The Gulag Archipelago by Aleksandr Solzhenitsyn. __________________ "A flower falls, even though we love it; and a weed grows, even though we do not love it."- Dōgen
