Ask Lemmy

I mostly read series, and my favorite is Malazan Book of the Fallen by Steven Erikson. The Silo series by Hugh Howey a close second.

I'm not really someone who reads many standalone books, because I love getting lost in epic/long stories (for this same reason I barely ever watch movies and stick with series in stead), and I hate how by the time I'm really getting into a book, suddenly it's over.. But hmm, for a standalone book I'd have to go with The Book Thief by Zusak (which btw, never seen the movie, maybe I should sometimes).

The Hunt For Red October

My two favorites from the last few months have been The Way of the Strangers by Graeme Wood and The Immortality Key by Brian Muraresku.

How can one choose? It is so much connected to my mindset at the time of reading.

For me it has to be Berserk. Not an actual book, I know, but it has the best story I've ever consumed, it being books, movies, games, you name it. Berserk takes the crown

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

Am I allowed to have a few? Because I can’t pick just one haha: Priory of the Orange Tree, Jane Eyre, Lord of the Rings series, A Song of Ice and Fire series (yes, even after the season that will not be named), Fingersmith, Rebecca, Redwall series. There’s more, but I feel like this is too many already 😅

I have Devil House in my to read pile! I’m going to put it at the top of the stack now

Lord Valentine’s Castle by Robert Silverberg

My favourite book is hands down the scorpio races by maggie stiefvater. I've read that book so many times I've lost count now

I'm probably just a basic bitch but I reread Frankenstein as an adult and it hits.
