Just recently in the past year, I've been getting way more into reading for enjoyment. I've noticed, with family and friends, the topic of books and what our favorites are rarely, if ever, comes up. So I thought to ask the forums what your favorite books are.
I love seeing what other people have read, and possibly checking those out myself.
I'll start:
The book is definitely not for everyone though. If you are into experimental horror, this would be a strong recommend.

Just over a year ago, my roommate recommended me the book House of Leaves. He told me to not scan the book at all, or flip through the pages, just start reading on page one. I won't go into spoiler territory here, but oh boy this book was the wildest fictional rides I have ever took on in my life. The subtle dread and despair on each page was captivating, and got me dreaming of the house on Ash Tree Lane. I felt like another character in the story by the end of the read, and have never gotten that feeling before. Years down the road, I'll still be talking to my friends about this lonely house in the southeastern Virginia countryside, waiting to be entered again.The book is definitely not for everyone though. If you are into experimental horror, this would be a strong recommend.

So I bounce the question back at you, what's your all time favorite book? It can be a series, fiction or non-fiction, or even a textbook. Did it impact you in any meaningful way, or was it just a fun read to pass the time?
