What are some of your all time favorite books that you recommend?

1. The Hound of the Baskervilles. I bought it on a whim one day when I had a few hours to kill at the mall and found a copy at the bookstore for $2. I couldn't put it down, and immediately went back and bought the complete Sherlock Holmes collection. The rest of the stories are really good, but Baskervilles remains my favorite.

3. [Worm, by J.C McCrae.](https://parahumans.wordpress.com/) I will say nothing about it. Best way to read it is knowing absolutely nothing what it's about.

5. East of Eden

6. "World War Z" by Max Brooks. It's a zombie apocalypse book, but it's written in the style of a journalist collecting individual accounts from a wide variety of people (a doctor, a black market dealer, a human trafficker, a mercenary, an Israeli intelligence agent, etc). Through these accounts, you get a picture of the social, political, religious and environmental changes that result from the plague. Very cool book.

8. 11/22/63 by Stephen King. It's much different from King's other works. While it still maintains a sci-fi feel, it also incorporates historical fiction in the Kennedy assassination.

13. I'm currently reading the third installment of The Stormlight Archive by Brandon Sanderson. I love this series, and I'm fairly confident it will be finished, unlike some other series I could name because Sanderson is kind of a work horse when it comes to writing. The world-building in these books is engrossing and fantastic. He also does a great job with foreshadowing and building suspense. I read a lot of gritty type fantasy, like ASoIaF and the First Law Trilogy and its standalones, so Sanderson's work is a nice palate cleanser.

17. Dune - Frank Herbert And if you're going to read the second one, you might as well read all six of the original books. Very serious when I say that these books changed my life. Opened my eyes to various things like economics, political agendas, religion, cultural differences... Also got me thinking about the long-term future of humanity... Assuming that we survive to becoming a multi-planetary species.
