"Agatha Christie, And Then There Were None.
I would love to be able to read it again, not knowing the ending."
"Hitchhiker’s Guide to the Galaxy by Adams. The book was a major point in my life in high school in altering my life path, and I wonder how it would be different reading it for the first time many years later."
"The Stand."
"East Of Eden by John Steinbeck. I took my time reading it but it felt like I was watching the most dramatic show with the most dramatic characters."
"Catch-22
My favorite book."
"Don Quixote – Felt like discovering Spain and it’s wonders."
"Lonesome Dove."
"Something Wicked this way Comes. Reading it in blustery fall, gifted by someone I was falling in love with. Plus old Grizzly Bear in the background. One of those viscerally rich memories every time I think of it."
"The Hobbit. My first full novel, and still I read it when I feel depressed."
"House of Leaves… It’s one of the first books that genuinely made me look over my shoulder at night and get creeped out. I would love to experience that mounting feeling of dread again. I’ve attempted rereads and it doesn’t have quite the same spark. The first time through I felt like I had been trapped in the frame of the story, now I feel more like a cataloguer."
"Harry Potter, they were so magical, and just remind me of my childhood and simpler days."
"Rebecca, by Daphne Du Maurier."
"Pet Semetary! I read it before watching or knowing a nothing about the subsequent films made about it. The book is so disturbing, shocking and Stephen King’s writing reads like a knife through butter."
"Pale Fire by Vladimir Nabokov for the joy of finding all of the little clues and piecing together the true narrative."
"The Picture of Dorian Gray.
IDK something about that book, so dark, so whimsical, it gave such a ‘high’ and I have been chasing that ever since. I think it’s one of those books that you just can’t stop reading, the more you read the more interesting it gets."
"Flowers for Algernon. One of my favourites and such a unique read."
"The Road. I was not prepared for the emotional devastation that comes with reading this book."
"The Old Man and the Sea by Ernest Hemingway."
"A Clockwork Orange."
"Piranesi by Susanna Clarke. Just so charming. Again, a really unique POV voice that I could hear in my mind afterwards for a while haha."

As opposed to The Art of the Deal or Mein Kampf when you want to know you're better than everyone?
What about, "Ten Little Niggers" by Agatha Christie? I can see how you Leftists would like that title, since democrats came up with 'that word' to keep them in their place, on your plantation.
Yeah brother, we need make the country great again and make sure everyone knows their place just like it used to be
