I Know This Much Is True by Wally Lamb. A poignant portrait of mental illness. Also, I almost named my daughter after one of the characters!

The Magus by John Fowles. Read it for the first time about 35 years ago. After 20 or so rereads I’m still obsessed by it. My all time favourite novel.

All 3 Vonnegut books I’ve read so far, *Slaughterhouse-Five*, *The Sirens of Titan*, and *Cat’s Cradle* are perpetually swirling around my brain.
*Slaughterhouse-Five* is my favorite so far, as the themes surrounding PTSD and overall psychological trauma have fascinated me since I was probably in middle school.
I recently bought 5 more, and am itching to dive into them once I finish reading the final LotR book.

Uncle Tom’s Cabin. The way I want to recommend it to every prompt, regardless of what it is, just because I think everyone should read it that much.
