We all have that one book that could never be replaced at its number one spot, mine is The Count of Monte Cristo by Alexandre Dumas. I am 34 now and I read this book when I was 23.
I’m curious as to what are the other people’s favourite books of all time?

The Fountainhead
The Road by Cormac McCarthy
For me it’s *My Name is Red* by Orhan Pamuk
Yukikaze by Chohei Kambiyashi. It’s a core memory. I remember the day I got it. I remember what happened around the times I was reading it. And I remember it in detail. No book has ever lived up to it for me.
I’ve always loved reading, I read non-stop when I was younger. I read all genres and I’m pretty well read. Yukikaze is just top tier and it doesn’t get enough respect because it’s Japanese and sci-fi.
I honestly don’t know. Gun to my head I’d probably say *The Pigeon*.
The Savage Detectives by Roberto Bolaño
The Shadow of the Wind by Carlos Ruiz Zafón.
The Count of Monte Cristo
[The Hands of the Emperor](https://app.thestorygraph.com/books/af2bba9c-8f41-4a3e-b87a-8532a44ccb67) by Victoria Goddard! It’s a (very long) beautifully written slice of life book about the personal secretary to the emperor of the world, with a heavy focus on platonic relationships.
A Fine Balance by Rohinton Mistry
