		rpdillon on Oct 7, 2024 \| parent \| context \| favorite \| on: Ask HN: What's the "best" book you've ever read? It is somewhat odd to ask someone about their favorite book and instead get a lie that's intended to test whether or not you'll be a good friend. It's also completely offtopic for a discussion about folks' favorite books.

Fair. It's a bit of a bait post.

But the OP did say by any metric of "best".

And I did post three of my favorites at the end, too!
