Even though it just got a movie, Dune. Loved it since I was 12. I always understand more of it everytime I read it

My absolute favorite novel is probably Dostoevskys The Idiot but Ive read three and theyre all great (The Brothers Karamazov and Crime and Punishment , respectively).

Historical stuff, I really dug The Sleepwalkers: How Europe Went to War in 1914 , The Vanquished: Why the First World War Failed to End , Ghost on the Throne (about the death of Alexander and the ensuing wars for his empire) and War of the Three Gods about the cataclysmic war fought between the Eastern Roman and Sassanid Empires and how the rise of Islam was enabled by both empires essentially having bled themselves white immediately prior.

For biographies: Karl Marx: A Life and John Brown: Abolitionist are both excellent reads about divisive but hugely important and influential figures.

It's hard to decide...
I like a lot of Military Sci-Fi and high Fantasy, but then there is a lot of urban fantasy I like.

If I had to pick...

Either Hammer's Slammers or something in the Bolo series.
i love the bolo stuff

Added to my dream book list (which is hundreds of books long )

Made me think of this for some reason:

https://news.slashdot.org/story/17/12/25/195205/how-many-books-will-you-read-in-a-lifetime-around-4600-if-you-read-fast

Apparently even the most voracious readers wont crack 5,000 books in their lifetime.
