I've read so many books over the years, I couldn't even begin to list them all. :)
From my X / Twitter “For you” feed this morning -
“One of the best things you can do in the new year is commit to reading old books. Read the dead guys.”

Based on your user name, I'm guessing you may have already read the series of books based on the classic PC game Myst. If not, Myst, Riven, and the Book of D'Ni were very enjoyable reads as I recall them.
It has been decades, however. They might be youthful. It was just what your screen name and the thread topic brought to mind. Presently and for some time now I entertain no fiction.
I don't really have any favorites yet. I only own four books and while I enjoyed reading them, I don't know if I'd call them favorites. I need more experience.
I've played the games, but I didn't even know there were books. I'll look into those, thanks.

Encouragement from the owl -
“Make this the year when you begin reading every day. Get a library card. Pursue the study of your enthusiams. You’ll be staving off brainrot, and will be pleasantly shocked at the joy that books can bring.”

I don’t agree with all of his rules but most of them I can go along with. You might find them helpful @Riven.
