I’m always interested in finding new books, please tell me the best book you’ve ever read! I’m open to all genres with the exception of dystopian themed books. Thanks!!
“Best” is dependent upon my mood and ranking criteria. Without a doubt, the series I enjoyed the most is Martha Wells’ *Murderbot Diaries*. Its **Network Effect** is a masterpiece.
With the old breed.
The discovery and conquest of Mexico.

The Road by Cormac McCarthy. Not sure why it is but I’ve read it twice.
Also The Fisherman by John Langen. Pretty scary book but I didn’t fully appreciate how good it was until I realized I wanted to read it again. Awesome ending too b

Ok hear me out – In Search of Lost Time by Marcel Proust.
I get it – it’s 100 years old, it’s like 3,500 pages, it’s weighed down by its own fame, it’s so French…
Still. In so far as the question of “best” has any real meaning, it’s an absolute masterpiece. It’s about the smallest moments, the tiniest shades of emotional, and builds out to a complex and subtle life.
I recommend the early 2000’s translation edited by Prendergast, starting with “Swann’s Way” translated by Lydia Davis.
