What’s your favorite book on chess?

The Amateur's Mind by Jeremy Silman. If you're looking to improve your chess then mainly just analyse your games. Don't bother learning openings too much; it's a waste of time for the most part.

Silman is good. If you want to develop thinking and tactics further read Arthur Yusopovs studies. Avoid anything that advocates for shortcuts or "the best games ever!"
