What is Your Favorite Novel of All Time?

[RainyLiquid]

Parahumans Worm is a personal favorite of mine, I think. In terms of actual hard cover books, I know it's sort of a clique, but it's a Song of Ice and Fire. I was into them long before Game of Thrones was even a TV show, and it's one of the few books I can still remember the dread or helplessness I felt, watching my many favorite characters struggle only to fail.

Another web series I've recently regotten into is Tales From The Gas Station. It's a pretty good horror comedy, and I enjoy it.

The Forever War by Joe Haldeman. Just an all-round great military sci-fi that makes you think. Particularly good as a companion read with Starship Troopers.

''Top Tier Providence, Secretly Cultivate for a Thousand Years''

It was one of the few stories that has more than 1000 chapters that I reread and didn't feel time passing. The MC remained true to his personality from the beginning to the end of the work without deviations and that is something that I value

I remember reading it, and it was just as you said, the MC's consistent thorough the story. One of the better xianxia story out there no doubt. Though I kind of forget why I stopped reading it (I've reached +200 chapters). You make me remember it so maybe it it's time for a reread

Watership Down. I used to sleep with that book in my bed, when I was a kid. It still holds up in adulthood, despite being about bunnies.

Favourite classic book: The Death of the Moth, by Virginia Woolf (essays that read like stories rather than typical essays)

If it's a genre you like, it's really worth rereading. It's a shame it's over, if it had 1000 more chapters I would have read it too. I started reading another work by the author that I also really liked, ''My Descendant Begged Me To Help Him Just After I Became A God''
I stopped because at the time I had reached all the translated versions and wanted to enjoy the work without using MTL. But I'll read it again too

Dragonsong, it was the first Dragonriders of Pern book I had read and I won't go into much detail but the fantasy of escaping a terrible life resonated with a young me.

It's not the best written book out there but it will always hold a special place in my heart.

Pretty sure this one (Dragonsong) has my vote, too. I love it SO much and have read it several times + picked up the audiobook recently and enjoyed that too. Oh, how I wanted a fire lizard as a kid!

Wow - before this, the closest thing to praise I heard for this was "Well, Meyer finally learned how to write." (and general dislike of the movie version - though it seems very similar to a K-drama with a lot of praise).

Really enjoyed this one (The Host), too!

Would also like to give an Honorable Mention to the Riyira Revelations trilogy. While I wouldn't say it's my actual favorite book/series, it is the only time I have ever read/listened to a book and then immediately after finishing, started it over and went through the whole thing again ?

I read that entire book during finals week my sophomore year of college, heh heh. Absolutely inhaled it. So good!

The Necronomicon

The one "translated" by "Simon" (think I still have my copy somewhere) or the Latin version of the Arabic "Al Azif"?

The one the demons whisper to me from the basement of my mind through the rustling of their leathery wings and the flickering of their serpentine tongues.

Ah, the John Dee translation then?

Ah, the John Dee translation then?

Did John Dee stop translating Enochian and move to demonic at some point? xD

Darn, that brings back memories of my time on Assassin's Creed. We wrote an arc of the game I worked on about Edward Kelley, and later we had a short story on his stepdaughter, Elizabeth Jane Weston.

Good times.
