[@ginoscafella9756]

As someone with more than 50 years of reading in the rear-view mirror, permit me to offer a list of ten books that pop into my head whenever an all-time list becomes fodder for conversation. Since you included All the President's Men in your top ten, I'm going to divide my list down the middle: 5 fiction, 5 non-fiction. These are books that I read as a young man and have reread since. In 1967 there was a large anti-war protest that converged on the Pentagon to rail against that chief symbol of the Vietnam War. Out of it came THE ARMIES OF THE NIGHT by Norman Mailer. This is Mailer at his metaphorically creative best, stretching the language in ways that still feel fresh and original. Written in a novelistic style with himself as protagonist, it laid tracks in what was then labeled the "new journalism." Mailer is unavoidable for anyone interested in that tumultuous decade. At about the same time, like a bolt out of hell came SOUL ON ICE by Eldridge Cleaver. This was one of those books that infiltrated the halls of academe like no other. Shockingly confessional and as gritty as anything ever published in America up to that time, Cleaver (one of the seminal members of the first Black Panther Party), as he tells us on page one, had begun to "form a concept of what it meant to be black in white America." If you want to know what the thinking was in the early days of the black power movement and the strain of consciousness it engendered, start here. Truman Capote's IN COLD BLOOD gave us a full-blown literary exercise in unprovoked terror. Mailer once wrote that Capote was, "sentence for sentence, the most perfect writer in America." If you want to know what he meant, read this one. I have read it at least once every decade since. The book that established the template for how to write about presidential campaigns is Theodore H. White's THE MAKING OF THE PRESIDENT 1960. Teddy White was arguably the finest political reporter of his generation and it shows in this wonderfully written and absorbing work. Should be required reading for every freshman poli sci class, even today. David Halberstam was a New York Times reporter who filed dispatches from Vietnam in the early days of the war. He came to chronicle it all in THE BEST AND THE BRIGHTEST. It's all here, brilliantly written and profoundly disturbing, serving as a warning to all future policy-makers, a warning they have tragically failed to heed. As for fiction, no one should leave unread Joseph Heller's CATCH-22. You'll unlikely ever read another book remotely like it. As a literary exercise it may leave you exhausted. When I first read it as a 20-year-old I was stunned by its creativity and I remain equally stunned by it today. I want to include Steinbeck but not one of the standards. Instead, the book that served as something of a precursor or prequel to The Grapes of Wrath was a book that explored similar themes. It's IN DUBIOUS BATTLE. I loved this book when I first read it and it has a prominent place on my memory shelf today. No one who cares about American literature can ignore Jack London's THE CALL OF THE WILD. A lyrical tempest of a book that has a etched a revered place in the hearts of all who remain open to being inspired. Since I've picked it up and read it I don't know how many times, I must tell you that THE CATCHER IN THE RYE by J. D. Salinger makes my list. Does Holden Caulfield annoy the hell out of me? Of course. Maybe that's why I come back to it again and again. Finally, Richard Wright's NATIVE SON is a book I have treasured and recommended for lo these fifty years. It's a book that is hard, tough, unsparing. It's a book that told America something profound that it needed to hear. It's a book that made it difficult to ignore the rage that gained it historic momentum from books like this one. Thanks for your channel (you've sent me back to Christie). Gino

You make some great points but, and I'm trying to be helpful, paragraph breaks would help people read your post.

[@ginoscafella9756]

Hmmm... paragraph breaks, huh. I'll keep that in mind.

[@ChessieChess]

I’m writing these down! Catch-22 is in my top 10 for sure.

[@SuperBookdragon]

Remains of the Day remains the most heartbreaking and tender story of my varied reading life.

[@mastersal4644]

Never hit like to hard. Looking forward to now watching this video fully. My TBR IS READY !!

[@aeb5055]

Loved hearing your favorites; I just adore your passion and eloquence! My favorites (in no particular order): The Remains of the Day, Never Let Me Go, Jane Eyre, Rebecca. I become most emotional reflecting upon The Remains of the Day. I read it years ago, and the mere mention still makes my heart ache.

[@bookslikewhoa]

Ugh, it's so good

[@pleasepleasethebees]

I am a child because some of my favorites are middle grade: The Boy Who Harnessed the Wind, Anne of Green Gables, Wonder, etc. P&P of course. Ugh. I realize my reading life is all about comfort. Suspense? No thank you. Steamy romance? Not interested. A book that makes you feel like you're wrapped in a warm comforter with a bowl of soup? Yes please!

[@bookslikewhoa]

Hurrah for comfort reads!

[@whit2642]

The Secret Garden and Bridge to Terabitihia are two on my top list I originally read in Middle School! I listened to all 40 hours of Anne of Greene Gables on Audible last year. It was AMAZING and I cried when it was over!

[@amritasengupta5251]

Your voice is comforting Maura. Love.

[@kaortega1120]

Great Choices! I was fortunate to meet Nora Roberts at a book signing years ago, have always enjoyed her writing. Happy Holiday Season!

[@sparklyunicorn5431]

Thank you for sharing your favorites!! I too will be 32 soon, how awesome!!😊 love your picks, will need to pick some up. I am still looking for my all time favorite book.

[@krakentoagoodbook]

Haha I think it's totally fair to count LOTR as one book. That's awesome that you took a class about it! Those are definitely my favorite movies. I kinda want to do a reread of the Kate Daniels series since it's been a bit since I've read the older ones! Jane Eyre is definitely one of my favorite classics.

[@TheYellowcrush]

What a great list, and so representative of you! I also adore Jane Eyre, and, while I haven't considered the exact order, would include Sense and Sensibility, A Long Way to a Small Angry Planet, Mrs. Dalloway, HP 6. My very favorite though, far and away, is The Name of the Wind. I just can't get over his language sensitivity. It's...ugh...just one gorgeous pearl strung after another. Magnifique!

[@Mikyshor2323]

The Remains of the Day has been on my shelves for 2 years now. Wanted to pick it up this winter break and boy seeing it on an all time favorites list makes me excited :D

[@bookslikewhoa]

Ugh it’s so good- a treat lies before you!!

[@cherylclough4309]

I loved Julia Child’s book My Life in France. By extension, the movie Julie/Julia. Was recently at a library book sale and saw the book Julie/Julia and bought it thinking to reread the Child’s book and then that one. Well, the plan is on my list! My husband is a big Christie fan.

[@kimberlybigler5864]

I could listen to you talk about Jane Eyre and Agatha Christie all day! My favorite is Jane Eyre too. Every time I re-read it I discover something new that I love about it.

[@bethanyirene7120]

Hearing you talk about justice while talking about All the President’s Men makes me think of one character in And Then There Were None 🤣

[@sophiecarbone4977]

My top book is Jane Eyre too! I think the ending is amazing and I read it in middle school. There was definitely a Before Time and an After Time when reading this book. It’s just phenomenal. And also And Then There Were None started my own love of isolated closed circle! Loved this video! So fun!

[@larryyonce]

And Then There Were None?? Yes!🌟 My all-time favorite book. Perfect from beginning to end. Unforgettable reading experience. Difficult to put down when I first read it and have re-read it a few times. Its popularity is totally justified in my opinion. Now I want to read Remains of the Day after your praise of that one.

[@michelea2326]

Omggg...my top book: East of Eden.

[@MaryAmongStories]

I plan to finally read LOTR in December! great video :))

[@shadowmoontarot3781]

"And then there were none" is one of my top 10 favourite books of all time as well. Agatha Christie just had a fantastic way of writing brilliant and really surprising mysteries. And although I do realize that often the reason one could not foresee the ending was because she hadn't given enough clues ... I still love the way she could create amazing plot twists and keep you hanging until the last moment. To me this is a talent.Not everyone can do it. "But you did not come back" by Marceline Loridan-Ivens is another of my all time faves.It's a very powerful true story in my opinion. I also enjoy stories that take place during the Russian Revolution and historical novels placed in the UK or France. Obviously Harry Potter had to be on my list too, because who doesn't like a bit of magic? Personally I love Hermione and her nerdiness :) I've only returned to reading after many years of hardly reading anything so I would have to think hard to make a list right now. But I'm getting into a rhythm again... :) Thank you for sharing this video... this is the first video I've seen from you and I subscribed! :)

[@bookslikewhoa]

Welcome!!

[@sarahadam1954]

It's so nice to see a booktuber talk about some mainstream authors and genres! There are so many that seem to be only YA (not slamming that genre love reading it myself) or fantasy heavy (also love that genre) but don't see many who talk romance or urban fantasy all that much so thanks! I would recommend Darynda Jones to anyone who likes urban fantasy and humor in books. Also another wonderful series is Poison Study series by Maria V. Snyder. And if you are big into fantasy but not so much on romance Chronicles of Elantra by Michelle Sagara are very entertaining and I don't see her talked about so much.

[@kimberlykv4313]

I had to watch twice. I missed ya! You're my favorite pocket friend now. Lol! Get it? Pull out the phone and hang with my awesome Booktuber that I know but doesn't know me. Haha Anywho, you should do lives. That would be so cool.

[@abbiel7566]

Whoa! Number 2 surprised me! Big Christie fan, but I’ll have to revisit that one ☺️ my all time favorite is either A Tree Grows in Brooklyn or Pride and Prejudice ❤️

[@leadinglady]

I’m very convinced to read All the President’s Men AND My Life in France Now. Making this a yearly idea is really interesting! I am curious to see if your list will change next year 💜

[@nilulal545]

Love the idea.. n once again awesome book selections.. i just started the J D Robb the death series while u r way ahead of me lol im hooked on the series.. im on book 3. I picked it from one of your book reviews good suggestion. 😊

This is the first video I’ve seen from you (popped up in the recommendation of a ChelseaDollingsReads) and must say, it’s so handy to see this because now I know I want to watch the other things you put out judging by your reading tastes! I read Jane Eyre for the first time this year and absolutely loved it, and Then there were none is the book by Christie I most want to start with :)

[@bookslikewhoa]

Well yay! Welcome :)

Jane Eyre is also a favourite of mine, it's one of the few books I want to reread repeatedly

[@AScreenwritersJourney]

I just subscribed to your channel after watching only 1/2 of this video. I can't wait to dig around in your uploads and see what's there! Have you seen the movie KNIVES OUT? Based on your love of AND THEN THERE WERE NONE, I'd recommend it. Thank you for mentioning the Julia Child book. I borrowed it from my mom a couple of years ago, but haven't read it. Now it will be pushed to the top of my list. (Right after I finish Charlotte Bronte's THE PROFESSOR.) Happy reading!

[@bleuclegg6295]

I just found you today and I'm a fan!

[@thelibrarianofalexandria6200]

I started thinking when I saw the title, its a hard thing to do, picking top ten. I have fave books but narrowing it down to 10 is seriously hard. My goodreads list of fave books is around 20. I read a lot of series but have a hard time picking fave from series(an interesting project in the future though ranking my fave series worst to best in series) so if I were to do a top 10 fave books of all time atm it would be from my fave standalones. My top three: Old magic by Marianne Curley. (actually turns 20 next year!) East by edith pattou Starry nights by daisey whitney.

[@te-ter]

You like The Remains of the Day, say no more. (I listened to the book description and I thought that I have to read it, but then I saw what you were talking about and realized that I already have 😅)

[@DS40764]

Thanks. I'm definitely going to do more reading this year; I've got to renew my lapsed Library card ( I already order books off of Amazon). Lol, Being a Baby Boomer( B.Y .1964), Harry Potter is much too current for me. You should have made a 20 best book list , 10 is much too hard. Of course, all favorite book choices/selections are subjective to the reader. A really great book is the Secret Life of Bees, since you like Remains of the Day , you would enjoy that book.

[@biancasjoy9251]

You’re sooo beautiful!! I love your make up 💛

[@bookslikewhoa]

Thank you!

[@suzanneestep2464]

New to your channel, I was surprised how many of your favorites were in line with my own. Love JDRobb/NR and Jane Austen. And I love Agatha Christy. (Have you seen or read the Agatha Raisin series it’s cute, saw the show on Acorn tv). Love paranormal romance. (Btw have you read Elizabeth Hunter’s books she is self published and everything she writes is excellent though I would suggest starting with A hidden fire). I have one guilty pleasure because they are light and funny and those are the Janet Evanovich, Stephanie Plum series, mystery, silly.I enjoyed you video. Nevada Barr has a mystery series, Anna Pigeon series really good.

[@joniheisenberg6691]

“Sophie’s Choice”, “American Pastoral”, The Human Stain”, “The Bluest Eye”, “The Great Gatsby”, “Rules of Civility”, “Shantaram” and most recently “ A Gentleman in Moscow. “ 💕❤️📚

[@sportsgamingcubing1860]

I can see my favorite book three shelves down from the top in the right bookcase! 7 1/2 Deaths of Evelyn Hardcastle is amazing!!

[@Ann86dk]

I find it extremely difficult to pick my favorite books. I think my favorites are Fool's Fate by Robin Hobb, The Hobbit by J.R.R. Tolkien, Hogfather by Terry Pratchett and The Martian by Andy Weir.

[@whit2642]

Anita Reads Have you read The Egg by Weir?

[@Nn-dl5ts]

I have finished Jane two days ago 💚

[@futurez12]

You've got some really good picks in this list. I haven't read All The President's Men but you've piqued my interest. I've just purchased Murder on the Orient Express, which will be my first Agatha Christie book. I _love_ Sherlock Holmes so I'm hoping I'll love her novels too. Charlotte is the only Bronte sister I've yet to read (I have no idea why I've read Anne before Charlotte); I have Jane Eyre on my shelf and plan to read it very soon, lots of people _love_ it so I'm super excited to read it. It blows my mind how booktubers can repeatedly reread books when they've already read so many _different_ books. You guys are either lightspeed readers or else you have a _lot_ of time to dedicate to reading. I'm such a slow reader; I really wish I could concentrate better and thus increase my speed. Life is too short; we'll never be able to read all the books we want to - even booktubers :) - and that makes me so sad. ☹ It's the reason why I pretty much exclusively read only the top-rated books on Goodreads, and why I favor classic books; I want to read all of Shakespeare's works before I die so picking up Dan Brown just isn't really an option, haha. 👍

[@bookslikewhoa]

Yay, I hope you enjoy Agatha Christie!!

[@ChessieChess]

Murder on the Orient Express is not my favorite Christie. Honestly I liked the movie (the classic with Albert Finney) way better than the book. That movie is so well done and stands the test of Time (but I recommend subtitles because of his accent). The all-star cast is perfect.

[@BernasBookishAdventures]

We share the same favorite book (Jane Eyre) 😊 and And There Were None would also be on my top 10 😉

[@ilahjarvis]

I'm mystified why Terry Pratchett doesn't get more love when people mention great fantasy writers. Is it because his books don't culminate in a singular grand battle between good and evil? Because humor isn't as impressive as drama? Does he focus on too many different communities within Discworld? I'm one of those avid fans who reads all of his books (41 in the series) and then I bide my time, looking other authors that I like half a much while I wait to forget what happens so I can reread the Discworld series again. Yep.

[@saraspangler890]

I like a lot of your favorite books and author, Jane Eyre, Austen, LOTR, Ag Christie, so I was surprised how highly you rated All the President’s Men. I have never read it, but it seems deadly dull to me. Maybe I’ll have to give it a chance. I was a teenager when Tricky Dicky was in office!

[@kwalton7690]

I can't do a top 10 or even a top 5 but these are the books that I have either reread more times than any other or that have stuck with me since reading: The Wizard of Oz by L. Frank Baum Nothing To Envy: Ordinary Lives In North Korea by Barbara Demick Pride and Prejudice by Jane Austen The Murder of Roger Ackroyd (favorite to listen on audio) by Agatha Christie An American Tragedy by Theodore Dreiser

[@nadal2265]

[@gaildoughty6799]

Emma, Barchester Towers, Mrs. Dalloway, Remains of the Day ( which you described perfectly), Murder at the Vicarage, Gilead...that’s as far as I can go, and in no special order.

[@Ninaofthe90s]

My top 10 1. Jane Eyre (Charlotte Brontë) 2. Wuthering Heights (Emily Brontë 3. The Picture of Dorian Gray (Oscar Wilde) 4. Pride & Prejudice (Jane Austen) 5. The Great Gatsby (F Scott Fitzgerald) 6. Harry Potter (can't decide which one probably 3 or 7...) (JK Rowling) 7. To kill a mockingbird (Harper lee) 8. The pillars of the earth (Ken Follett) 9. Atonement (Ian McEwan) 10. American Psycho (Bret Easton Ellis)

[@Kaivijs]

Harry Potter and The Song of Ice and Fire (don't know which book in particular, should do a reread for that), 1984 left a really big impact on me. Also Mistborn, Strange the Dreamer and definitely Fifth Season. So yeah, not that good at choosing :D

[@locutusdborg126]

I loved East of Eden when I was in high school. The best of Steinbeck IMO. Jane Eyre and P&P are true classics and the pinnacle of literature. And I prefer Never Let Me Go over Remains of the Day. YMMV. Cards on the Table is my fav Agatha.

[@teresateri4803]

Fab choices

[@LiteraryStoner]

My all time favorite book is Frankenstein💜

[@rebeccawaggner5291]

My all time favorite is Breathe by Amber Lacie. It's a book I recommend to everyone. It's contemporary romance that is timeless. It will destroy you then give you a hug. It Ends With Us By Colleen Hoover this book consumed me. I struggle with picking up another book by this author because I feel like it has to be all down hill from here since this book set such a high bar. Then my favorite series is The Rise of the Iliri by Auryn Hadley. It's an Epic RH War Fantasy. The underlying social and political structures are thought provoking.

I’ve just found you (haha), and I share your love of Nalini Singh and Nora Roberts. Coincidentally, I’m currently reading Jane Eyre, for my undergrad literature class - it’s a reread for me. It’s a literary work of feminism, of its time, written in the day of the “Angel in the house,” when Victorian male authors were still rejecting ideals of the ‘New Woman’ in their fiction (cough, Bram Stoker’s Dracula).

And Then There Were None -- best whodunit I've read All The President's Men -- Engrossing to be sure, but I was let down when DT's identity was finally revealed. I don't feel Woodward played fair with his literary sleuths. He had clearly denied in an interview that Deep Throat was anyone inside the 'intelligence community'. The FBI, where Felt worked, is most definitely part of the intelligence community. I felt I had wasted time and energy taking up the challenge of ID'ing his Watergate source. Very good movie, though.
