My top 10 books (all genres)

Updated: Nov 19, 2022

This is one of the more difficult posts and I might edit it, but hopefully not. With no further introduction, straight to the point. My top 10 favorite books of all time, over all genres.


First one admission. There are no books, like science fiction. I am just putting it out there. So before I get to the list, I must emphasize my bias so as not to be called out.


I am trying to mix it up a bit, so here goes, tadaaaa, the list:





1) 'The clan of the cave bear' by Jean M. Auel


2) 'Wool' by Hugh Howey


3) 'Old man's war' by John Scalzi


4) 'The cobra' by Frederick Forsyth


5) 'And then there were none' by Agatha Christie


6) 'Shadow & bone' by Leigh Bardugo


7) 'The last colony' by John Scalzi


8) 'Phatoms' by Dean R. Koontz (brrrr.. chills)


9) '1984' by George Orwell


10) 'The Rosie project' by Graeme Simsion

Now, these kinds of lists are super individual and my style might not be everyone's style to read. I read almost everything that is recommended to me, every genre. I also enjoy young adult series when I am in the mood, such as 'the selection' by Keira Cass, and of course especially my gullible Sci-Fi genre, like Frank Herbert's Dune series. I don't read much horror anymore, but I used to and I still remember each horror book I read, giving my spine a good chill while recalling the plot. What are you reading right now? and what are some of your favorite books?

Great top 10. Clan of the cave bear would be in my top two. I read the whole series and they were great. I loved battlefield earth as one of my top two. Thanks for the list.
