A Walk in the Woods by Bill Bryson and Sailing Alone Around the World by Joshua Slocum
The stand, by Stephen King
Stephen King’s Dark Tower series is my go-to epic fantasy. I’m about to start a 4th trip to the tower once I’m done with my current listen.
Enders Game by Orson Scott Card, and a select few other books in the series (Speaker for the dead and Enders Shadow most notably) - Card at the top of his game is fantastic, I just wish he didn’t dive completely off the deep end.
Tangentially, Berserk, if you include manga. Hands down my favorite piece of media altogether.
I remember the VCR instruction manual.
Otherwise Terry Pratchett’s discworld novels and the Hitchhikers guide to the Galaxy (the 3 first ofc).
there is a lot of books i have read more than once. but one stands out over all others, yet there is no storyline to speak of. The C Programming Language by Brian Kernighan and Dennis Ritchie.
Me too. But due to the non linear storyline I typically jump around a lot
I have re-read The Lord of the Rings and all of Larry Niven’s books (many in the Ringworld universe).
Seconding Lord of the Rings.
Haven’t heard of that one. What’s it about?
Someone gives a relative a stolen ring, and they take it back to where it was from.
