If you love books, you may have come upon a book which rises above all the rest! What's your favorite book? Mine is Gone with the Wind, because I love romantic historical fiction! I have a first addition Gone with the Wind book from 1937, and it is super sweet because someone gave it to someone as a gift, and they put a little note on the first page! For that matter, what is your favorite genre too?

Rabbit Run. No book better captures the disappointment of life better than this one.
I read this when i was 13 and i really liked it. Don't think i've enjoyed a book as much ever since
There's just nothing else like it, or even comes close to competing with it.

I own a 1945 edition.
This is the correct answer.
(for now) Infinite Jest. Not even memeing. I might not have read other, better books yet, but this is the one that stands out for me.
Youth In Revolt got me into reading "mature" books when I was in 6th grade
Min Kamp (My Struggle), Knausgaard
In Cold Blood, Capote
Blood Meridian, McCarthy
IJ, DFW
Crime and Punishment is mine. It beats the Brothers Karamazov for me.

what makes this book so great?
Been avidly reading literature for about five years now and so far Anna Karenina stands above all the rest

>doesn't even spell Mein Kampf right
>too pleb to even notice how awful of a writer and thinker Hitler was
Not even being PC, that "book" is trash because it's nothing more than badly written rants about spooks

Pitiful attempt, made me reply
>>7805795
Convince me otherwise
I'm not even trying to be contrarian (or the opposite for this book, I suppose), I just legitimately do not know why people enjoy it so much

Wrong book
This one is contemporary and Norwegian
JR or Gulliver's Travels. I adore Gaddis and Swift's writing beyond measure.
Lolita.
