The Mediations of Marcus Aurelius is something I keep around and revisit frequently.

regardless of the overarching plot, it is a very well written book

Count of Monte Cristo is one of my favorites.

Monte Cristo is one of those novels you think will be slow because of its age and lengthy, but, like Les Miserables, it is highly readable and an intense page turner!

The best one I've read so far is Count of Monte Cristo - it's long but it's one of those books where you get really engrossed in its world and you're really sad when it is over!

Finished Tolstoy’s War and Peace in 2020 (pandemic silver lining). Life changing book.

I'm on book 5 of Wheel of Time right now. Honestly I haven't liked it as much as anything Cosmere so far

The Wheel of Time series is intimidating to me.

"The Stars my Destination" and "Lord of Light" are excellent.
