Impressive - but you missed the exact one year mark by 4 days. 8/10.
Back on topic: The Ox-Bow Incident by Walter Van Tilberg Clark. Read it in high school, and it forever shaped the way I see authority, mob mentality, and social pressure.
Aside from that, The Hobbit by JRR Tolkien.

Favorites series has been “The Legend of Drizzt” by R.A. Salvatore
Currently I’m enthralled by a series of books by Darcy Coats. Not sure if they’d be considered graphic novels but she does paint some rather horrific mental pictures.
Bart Ehrman "Forged "writing in the name of god.
Neil Degrasse Tyson “The Pluto files” The rise and fall of Americas’ favorite planet

The Count of Monte Cristo is always up there for me.
The Beast in the Cave by Lovecraft will always be one of my favs.
The web-novelist Ruffwriter (Not related to furries or the like I swear) Has a fiction called “Savage Divinity” that has had a lot of thought provoking concepts explored in a fantasy world heavily inspired by ancient china. Contemporary popculture tropes are present but are done in a digestible way that doesn’t detract from the story imo.
Pluto was never America’s favorite “planet”.
It was Jupiter.
Actually, I suspect most people’s favorite planet is Earth.

Let’s see my favorite books:
A Song of Ice and Fire.
The Expedition by Wayne Douglas. It is a science fiction book about humans going through an interstellar expedition on a habitable alien world and researching the exotic lifeforms there. I always loved the artwork and storytelling.
The Warcraft books, particularly Lord of the Clans.
The Diablo books.
Any books related to Zoos.
Silverwing books. They are about talking bats that work to save the day from an evil god, kinda like watership down but with bats.
How do you feel about Lucifer’s Hammer?

It’s not really a favorite book but more like a favorite series, the Dragonlance Chronicles, I love the Dragonlance series in general (I have 18 DL books) but the Chronicles are my absolute fav series, it’s what actually made me develop a taste for reading book novels in general and what made me love fantasy like I do.

You’ll have no argument with me. And let me say Timothy Zahn is the coolest dude ever too. He doesn’t charge for autographs and genuinely loves talking with his fans. I always enjoy seeing him at cons.
