Why? We're not the same, we like different things, my favourites are not recommendations for others, they're simply the books I liked the most and I don't expect every other frog poster to like them.

I really liked the Book of the New Sun books, my favorite probably being the third one. Maybe it was just the pseud in me getting off on reading stuff that is intentionally difficult to understand, but when I was reading it it was all I could think about.

I also really liked East of Eden, but that was largely because I found Steinbeck's style of writing to be mesmerizing. The way he can tell a life story in a chapter without it feeling bogged down or truncated was really impressive to me and I felt a connection to the characters because of it. Stories that have obvious biblical parallels are also fun for me to read because it lets me think of the characters as concepts rather than people. I guess those two sentences are kind of conflicting, but the fact that his writing did both of those things for me is probably why the book grabbed me so much.
