Genre doesn‘t matter, but I want to try something new and I think that‘s a good start.
Thank you for you answers already!

I can’t narrow it down- LOTR is an obvious one for me but very close seconds are;
East of Eden (and I don’t like any other John Steinbeck)
Brideshead Revisited, Evelyn Waugh
Little Dorrit, Dickens
Silas Marner, George Eliot

The Magus by John Fowles. It’s literary fiction. Read it for the first time when I was 24. Raced through it in a couple of days (and it’s a long book). Finished it in the middle of the night, slept fitfully for a couple of hours and woke up so depressed I could no longer live in it that I started over from the beginning. This has only happened to me once.
I turned 60 last year, and I’ve now read it about 20 times. I’ve read thousands of books, this is my all time favourite – it has everything: love story, travel, history, philosophy …
Don’t want to say too much about the plot, so I’ll just leave you with the last sentences of part one:
“I did not think about the future. In spite of what the doctor at the clinic had said I felt certain that the cure would fail. The pattern of destiny seemed clear: down and down, and down.

But then the mysteries began.”
