Following PyramidHeadcrab’s list of favorite games from Topster, I created one of my favorite books. I cheated a little by including some box sets/anthologies for some of my favorite multi-book series. Anyway, here’s my list

I don’t read a lot of books these days but one of my favorites ever is Ella Minnow Pea by Mark Dunn. Really cool concept and a quick, fun read.

I’ve not read frequently enough after young adulthood (or maybe still in it?) to have a list that reflects my favorites throughout my entire life. I’d like to change that given how often I used to read. I’ll see if I can think of 25, but might just post 16 or 9 instead.
Included a few series since they cannot exist separately in my mind anymore.

Making this made me realize how hard it is for me to think of my favs off the top of my head. I mostly went off of my goodreads and what I found looking over my shelves at home. I bundled book series together so when you see a single volume of a series, I’m including the entire series, except for Hitchhiker’s Guide because I’ve only read 1-3.
If you couldn’t tell, I like stuffy classics and graphic novels/manga.

Huh, I was actually going to start a thread asking if anyone used anything like StoryGraph, so glad I found this thread.
I consider myself a fairly big reader, but admittedly 80-90% of that is comics/ graphic novels. Anyway, my top 20, in no particular order, are as follows;
- Neverwhere by Neil Gaiman
- Stardust by Neil Gaiman
- The Sandman by Neil Gaiman and a host of artists
- The Hobbit by Tolkien
- Batman: The Long Halloween by Jeph Loeb and Tim Sale
- Crisis on Infinite Earths by Marv Wolfman with George Pérez
- Infinity Gauntlet by Jim Starlin and George Pérez
- Saga by Brian K. Vaugh and Fiona Staples
- The Ten-Cent Plague by David Hajdu
- The Shadow Over Innsmouth by Lovecraft
- The Mistborn series by Brandon Sanderson
- Dracula by Bram Stoker
- War of the Worlds by H. G. Wells
- Bone by Jeff Smith
- Silver Surfer: Parable by Stan Lee and Mœbius
Probably others, but that’s all I can think of off the top of my head.
Sorry I couldn’t make a cool graphic like you guys.

Making charts or lists like these always makes me realize how I really need to revisit some of my long-standing favourites because some of these I’ve last read (at least all the way through) over a decade ago.

I read Gary Webb’s Dark Alliance a few years back about connections between the CIA and drug smuggling. That sent me down a bit of a conspiracy rabbit hole and now I’m reading Whitney Webb’s (as far as I know, no relation) One Nation Under Blackmail about the connections between Epstein and American intelligence. I have to say, it’s very compelling. Combined with the Netflx series about Danny Casolaro and Wendigoon’s video about the JFK assassination, I’m quickly becoming a bit of conspiracy theorist about how American intelligence has engaged in a criminal behavior within the US.
