Are there particular books that are your absolute favorite? I'll start:

Blood Meridian by Cormac McCarthy.
American Tabloid by James Ellroy.
The Most Beautiful Girl In Town And Other Stories by Charles Bukowski.
Cannery Row by John Steinbeck.

I'm sure there are others.

Jane Eyre by Charlotte Brontë
The Hobbit and Lord of the Rings by Tolkien
The Color Purple by Alice Walker
Mrs. Dalloway by Virginia Woolf although it’s really hard to pick just one novel by Virginia Woolf. I really love To the Lighthouse, The Waves, A Room of One's Own, and Orlando as well.
The Hours by Michael Cunningham
The Awakening by Kate Chopin
David Copperfield and Bleak House by Charles Dickens
Le Petit Prince by Antoine de Saint-Exupéry
L’Étranger by Albert Camus
The Demon-Haunted World: Science as a Candle in the Dark by Carl Sagan
The Scarlet Letter by Nathaniel Hawthorne
The Handmaid’s Tale by Margaret Atwood
Walden by Thoreau
Anne of Green Gables and Anne of Avonlea by L.M. Montgomery
Metamorphoses by Ovid
Sense and Sensibility by Jane Austen. I think that’s my favorite Jane Austen novel. Well, it depends on the day.
