No one who read more than a couple of books in his life can answer that question honestly. There's always a bunch. Here's a couple that i really enjoyed - The Road, Metro 2033, Free Fall, Pygmy, Ernest Hemingway's Complete Short Stories, Moby Dick, Sniper on the Eastern Front, A World Made by Hand. There are a lot more, but these came to mind right now.

Hatchet... my fat teacher bought it and specifically gave it to me when i told him his classes were boring as a wee child. Dunno why that book specifically but its what made me like reading about tales of survival and the like.

Guess I'd say this is my favorite, read it a couple times in Iraq and a few times since then.

Picked it up after meeting Col. Robert (Bob) Howard while he was doing a USO tour in Kuwait while we were passing through.

Those SOG guys and the shit they did is crazier than anything hollywood could ever cook up. Perhaps even bollywood.

Whenever our schedules line up right myself and my old highschool D&D group have been playing the new Curse of Strahd adventure (at a meticulously slow pace because we're adults with lives now), and I've been rereading some of my old Ravenloft books and man did I forget how much I loved them.

If I had to pick my favorite book it'd probably be either "When the Lion Feeds" or "The Sound of Thunder" by Wilbur Smith.

Fuckin nice, dude, I haven't played D&D in like, five years, I'ma probably hit it up with my buds when I go back North. Will have to look into Curse of Strahd. Haven't been keeping up at all.

I collect books as another hobby of mine (mainly old cookbooks) and all my other favorite books are too many to display (like Anthony Bourdain's older writings - you know when he hated everything and wasn't a 100% liberal mouthpiece). So I guess I'll just show what I'm reading right now. Sorry for the bad picture.

That's a Taurus PT111 G2 and a Heritage Rough Rider 22lr.

Those books actually inspired me to write a few Resident Evil fanfics when I was a young teen. I went back and read them all a couple years ago. Really fucking embarrassing, haha.

Pic definitely related, but I have a straight dust cover frame on the Samurai Edge now.

the Hatchet series was a childhood favorite, pretty sure it literally changed me.

One Soldier's War is really good.
Not /k/ related, but anything by R. A. Salvatore is great

On a related note, I picked up pic related from the used book store last time I was there for like $2, but haven't gotten a chance to read it yet.

It's been wayyyy too long since I've actually gotten to read a book, but now that I'm jobless maybe I'll have the time lol

Fuck. I need to reread all that and read for the first time Bourdain. I love his shows.

I'd also suggest for all y'all the McCarthy border trilogy. All The Pretty Horses was my first McCarthy read and that made me love innadesert on my family's land.
