I haven't read novels in a while. First one that jumps to mind is The Stand by Stephen King. #Highbrow

Huh. I had you pegged for a Brothers Grimm man.

Not really a novel, but the guy from The Most Dangerous Game is my idol. I'd love to live on an island and hunt people.

Also, LotR is the GOAT. Lord of the Flies is also good.

Catch 22

Read it in the early 70's. Not sure how it holds up but it was something to behold

Catch-22

It is my favorite as well - it holds up well

Thomas Harris' Silence of the Lambs was a great one.
One of the few that actually was made into a good movie

I thought Jurassic Park was badass

Somehow also my favorite movie

I also found Dean Koontz to be much more fun to read than Stephen King in that category.

I like to read biographies, autobiographies, and personal accounts mostly.

These two are memorable;

What? Why? I don't understand this post.

I’m sorry, but Catch 22 is a massive piece of shit. The larger theme is ruined by the incessant puns. It basically reads like a Dr Seuss book without the trippy illustrations crossed with some Marx Brothers camp. This is like Dexter for me; everyone else seems to love it, and I feel like I’m taking crazy pills. But that’s just me.

It's just a lame joke. You're kind of an odd duck, so it would make sense you read The Hardy Boys.

In other words, hardy har har
