What Books have you read that you would reread or recommend?

Nineteen Eighty-Four
Don Quixote
The Handmaid's Tale
Ulysses

These four are my favorite book and I may be because in this pandemic I re-read them. Now I am thinking to buy Dark Psychology and 101 Essays That Will Change the Way You Think.
 
I recently re-read Ghostwritten by David Mitchell, still very good.

"Ghostwritten is the first novel published by English author David Mitchell. Published in 1999, it won the John Llewellyn Rhys Prize and was widely acclaimed. The story takes place mainly around East Asia, but also moves through Russia, Britain, the USA and Ireland. It is written episodically; each chapter details a different story and central character, although they are all interlinked through seemingly coincidental events.[1][2] Many of the themes from Ghostwritten continue in Mitchell’s subsequent novels, number9dream and Cloud Atlas, and a character later appears in The Bone Clocks."
 
Have any favorites? Any you would recommend to be read ? Fiction, Non-fiction, Documentary, Coffee table

To start off I'd like to list a few names, without publishing info.
If there is any interest in this thread, Book names with enough info to find them would be helpful.

Non Fiction:
King of the Road. The story of bicycle, from early bone shakers to around 1070.

Time-Life "Seafarers" series , The Clipper Ships, The Windjammers, The Luxury Liners, The Racing Yachts.

The Nature of Boats, Dave Gerr . Insights and Esoterica for the Nautically Obsessed.

Bizarre Ships of the Nineteenth Century, John Guthrie. Wild, crazy, and unbelievable ships.

Fiction:
Way too many to list. In past years have gone through many different interests.

Cowboy days: Louie L lamor, Max Brand, Zane Grey + , The older sometimes better than the newer.

Enjoy Clive Cussler, even with the sometimes predictable un believeable.

Christian Fiction:
My wife reads a lot more than me. She has too many on hand to list. Some are worth reading. I have had enough
of the Beverly Lewis Amish stories.

Did enjoy C.S.Lewis, also Frank Peretti.

Like to end on one last Trilogy: This is one I would recommend, and reread.

"Trophy Chase Trilogy" by George Bryan Polivka. Published 2007. Has nearly everything combined into one story.
Love, Faith, Hope, Trickery, Deception, Betrayal, Action, and fantastic stories within the story. Happy ending.
1.The Legend of the Firefish.
2.The Hand that bears the Sword.
3.The Battle for Vast Dominion.
