+5
Submitted by Swatcat on December 5, 2025
Which are the ‘mostest’ books that you’ve ever read?
I’ll start.
Quirkiest/funniest: The Land of Green Ginger, by Noel Langley. (Kids book, btw :))
Most recent read: 10 Mistakes that changed History
Unique style: Maatt (Mother) by Maxim Gorky. It’s a really flowery style…
Deepest: The New Testament
Most depressing: The Gulag Archipelago trilogy.
Scariest: Jaws.
New and Popular
* Everything Is Illuminated
Couldn't put down until I finished it:
* Ender's Game
* I, Claudius
Scariest: (I forgot the name. The only reason why I didn't get nightmares was because plot twist - the protagonist was the murderer)
Can't put down until I finished it, so much that I found it creepy: The Kill Factor (quite violent though)
Deepest Fiction: The Wingfeather Saga
Very suspicious plot: Zarkora (because the first book's main idea is almost the exact same as the above...)
Favourite Fantasy (that I read more recently): The Medoran Chronicles
Favourite younger-readers book: Wings of Fire
Favourite Science Fiction: I am Number 4 (series)
Favourite Mystery: The Mysterious Benedict Society
Best biographies: Christian Heroes Then and Now series by Janet and Geoff Benge
I've read too many good books, I can't mention them all 😥
Most thought provoking - Fluke by James Herbert
Horror - The Rats also by James Herbert
Realistic fiction favorite: The Ashfall trilogy by Mike Mullen (who looks kinda like Mark Zuckerberg). Super good, covers an Iowa teenager’s scramble for survival in the Midwest after Yellowstone erupts. Very realistic, a fun and brutal read.
YA favorite: Arc of a Scythe trilogy by Neil Shusterman. Very well-known book but I could re-read this a hundred times, it’s an interesting series.
Non-fiction favorite: Rise and Fall by Mitchell Zuckoff. Heart-wrenching and detailed multi-perspective book that extensively covers the events of 9/11 and the stories of so many individuals involved. Book ends with like a dozen pages with the names of all the victims and it’s just absolutely mind-blowing to read through, it’s hard to grasp just how many people died until you see their names in print
Most recent read: Fahrenheit 451 by Ray Bradbury and Vagabond: A Memoir by Tim Curry (finished on the same day)
Unique style: Ella Minnow Pea (a fun little read with lots and lots of word play, great for book/word nerds).
Deepest fiction: The Book of Doors by Gareth Brown (as well as the sequel)
Most depressing: Not really sure to be honest. Sometimes there are parts of books that are depressing but usually by the end they're fine.
Scariest: (for someone who avoids horror novels like the plague, I've read only 2 horror books). I'm Thinking of Ending Things by Iain Reid (I've read a few books that might be considered horror but I don't, such as Frankenstein, Jekyll & Hyde, Dorian Gray etc.)
