>The Return of the King (biggest emotional rollercoaster I've ever been on from a book)
>The Hobbit (read it as an adult after reading LOTR, but it's super comfy and totally different from LOTR)
>Redwall (favourite childhood book/s)
>My War Gone By, I Miss It So (the most moving, beautiful, sensitive, well-told and simultaneously action-packed & engaging (true) story I've ever read, about the Bosnian civil war)
>A Farewell to Arms (beautifully written book (imo) which heretofore fundamentally changed my taste in literature)
>Storm of Steel 1961 Hofmann translation (one of my first non-fiction books on war or conflict, I had read A Farewell to Arms shortly prior; brilliantly written with a deft translation)
>Flow My Tears, the Policeman Said; A Scanner Darkly; The Three Stigmata of Palmer Eldritch; UBIK; Dr. Bloodmoney (some of my favourite PKD books and the most deftly-written I've read by him)
