hey lit what do you think is the best book ever??

I'm kidding, of course. Though I am interested to know what books you consider your biggest influence, your own favorite, etc.

At the moment, mine would be this. I'm still expanding on how much I've read, but this book has stood out to me for quite some time. And while it may not be the best book I've ever read, it would be the most influential.

Not too sure about influential books (there are so many), but my personal favourite right now is Catch 22.
