How has your choice of favorite book changed over time?
I ask because I have never had any particular favorite book, although my tastes have changed.
I had a favourite book in high school, but not since then.
When I was younger, in my late teens/early twenties I read a lot of classics because these were the books I was supposed to like. Many of them were quite good of course, but these days I read what I'm interested in personally and am a lot happier. If I had to choose a favourite I would pick the Kindly Ones by Jonathan Littel.
I like books with wars in them, that certainly hasn't changed. To me a book isn't really complete without a good war :^)
My favourite book was Jane Eyre as a kid since I read it so much. As I got older, I have a favourite genre rather than a book. Although I barely read for leisure rn.
The only classic I've ever read in my life is TBK when I was 16 and I loved the shit out of it because how much it made me think

If one's preference is poetry or the essay one tends to stick to an author. For me top spot has been occupied by Montaigne for quite some time (I also espouse the travelogue).

Did you ever read pic related?

No, I think I stuck on a reading list at some point and forgot about. It seems interesting either way

To me, a book isn't really complete without describing in-depth the main character's bowel movements.
