For whom the bell tolls, One hundred years of solitude, The stranger, Sapiens
Atlas Shrugged. Don’t @ me.
I’ll start - Man’s Search for Meaning; taught me at a young age to have a “North Star”, a goal to be pulled towards so the hard work comes because I’m drawn to my goals. “Man can endure any what so long as he has a why"
The sun also rises. Don’t know why I love this book so much... doesn’t even really have a plot. It just resonates with me
The Screwtape Letters, C.S. Lewis. Learned more about human nature and one’s fallibility than I ever wanted to know, and he’s able to make you laugh while you cringe at how familiar some of the traits he’s describing are. A brilliant work
Shantaram
Immersive
The Hardy Boys
The bible
Letters from a Stoic - Seneca. An incredible amount of wisdom and insightful character development advice in one place.
Other top ones include: Mans Search for Meaning, Blood Done Sign My Name, Tribe, The Rational Optimist, Poor Economics, The Alchemist, and Just Mercy, to name a few that come to mind.
Phantom tollbooth. It goes without saying!
@op great choice. That book literally saved my life.
#1 Master and Margarita by Bulgakov. #2 A Tale of Two Cities by Dickens (ironically I did not like Great Expectations at all). #3 Les Miserables by Hugo
A lot of other books I really like, including a lot of which were mentioned above, but these are my top three in that order as of now

A Tale of Two Cities
Ender’s game
*hard work comes more naturally because
The Princess Bride. The movie is my all time top 5 and the book is even better.
Confederacy of Dunces
Let me propose something quite different from the above - The Dhandho Investor by Mohnish Pabrai. Great book about risk taking and investing, that completely changed my perspective on the ability to seize opportunities and create wealth. Maybe not for everyone, but if these topics are of interest to you, I can not recommend highly enough.
