My favorite as of now is possibly "Tribe" by Sebastian Junger. 130 pages, definitely worth the read. It essentially details why tribal instincts are necessary in humans, and gives examples from modern history.

Ulysses. I love everything about it. I have a few excerpts I read while I doze off many nights. I can read it 100 times and never get bored. Lots of wisdom. Ideal desert island book.

Ficciones
is like a diamond for my brain

Infinite Jest, not meme-ing. It was just a fun time through and through. Had never read anything like it

Loved the shit out of TPT as a kid. Fine choice.
My favorite book is Godel, Escher, Bach: An Eternal Golden Braid. It's a near-psychedelic survey of computation, art, religion, and all manner of other things, and it's just a ton of fun to read.

Immensely moving book. Milton's blank verse is top-tier yeah, but I fear it's almost solely for that reason this is seldom read anymore. Otherwise, people might jump on one of the original "muh Lucifer was the good guy" bandwagon more often I'd imagine.

For prose works, Moby Dick or Swann's Way
