How can one choose? It is so much connected to my mindset at the time of reading.

Then give me a few that come to mind at the moment. :)

  • The name of the wind - Patrick Rothfuss
  • Discworld series - Terry Pratchet
  • The city of the blind - José Saramago
  • The Little Prince - Antoine de Saint-Exupéry
  • Cathedral of the sea - Ildefonso Fancones
  • Mythos - Stephen Fry
  • Catch-22 - Joseph Heller
  • ...

I could go on for a while, I suppose. Every one of them has brought me joy reading. The discworld series are being reread at the moment and at every stage of my life the address me in a different way. The Little Prince is the one I would buy for everyone I know. In French because that works best.
