Good topic. I just realized that, indeed, I usually wouldn't recommend my favourite books to others, because they're either too weird or I love them for very specific features. Anyway, here's the list:

Dunno, I think I can recommend “Lord of Light” by Zelazny to just about anyone 🤔 A bit harder with Frank Herbert’s “Dune” novels, although “The chronicles of Amber” shouldn’t be much of a problem.

I'm split between hard sci-fi and detective novels for the majority of what I read. The entire Isaac Asimov universe should be a mandatory read as it's easy to read and yet extremely deep.

The past few years I have been on a reading kick and have been either reading stuff I did/should have read in highschool or bingeing series I like.








I have listed all I have read the past few years here.
