Lots of great books in here, definitely will at a few of these titles to my to-read list.
If you asked me this question 3 or 4 years ago, I would be saying without a doubt, Catch-22, and Slaughterhouse 5. However, I believe books impact you differently at different points in your life. During undergrad, these books had a big impact on me, questioning what a true hero is, exploring historical events from satiric perspectives, so it goes. I would still put those two books in my top ten, but right now I must have a real pull to just be somewhere else, to kind of escape and do an adventure, so my favourite books right now all have that theme of travel to either escape chaos, life or disease.
The three I would recommend right now is
- Travels with Charley: In Search of America by John Steinbeck
- The Sun Also Rises by Ernest Hemingway
- Wild by Cheryl Strayed
