oh boy, this is a hard one. I guess American Gods by Neil Gaiman or Beloved by Toni Morrison.
I always go back and read those books countless times.

Fantasy has always been a small obsession of mine, primarily through literature. Currently, The Last Wish and The Sword of Destiny from the Witcher series are two major favorites. Otherwise, the Pendragon, Chronicles of Narnia, Harry Potter, Percy Jackson, and Ranger's Apprentice series occupied the majority of my childhood. I'm currently reading my way through the rest of the Witcher books in hopes of keeping ahead of the Netflix show.

My favourite book has to be Neuromancer by William Gibson.

My introduction to this was actually Neuromancer the Video Game, though admittedly I played the CGA version on my 80286 AT as a child and only found the much better Amiga version years after. At the time, I had no idea of the lore but I was hooked on trying to defeat those AI before they fried my brain and I'd have to sell organs to upgrade myself.

The book and franchise itself apparently gave rise to Hollywood's main Cyberpunk genre, including Johnny Mnemonic who is the murdered ex-lover of Neuromancer's Protagonist's lover, played by Keanu Reeves, then the Matrix Trilogy also played by Keanu Reeves and finally Cyberpunk 2077 which Keanu Reeves made a cameo appearance in.

I keep hearing that they'll make the Neuromancer movie eventually, and if I had to guess who'd take the leading role ... then I haven't been paying attention for the last decade or so.

My favorite book is Ulysses by James Joyce.
Seriously?

I've tried to get into that book to no avail

It's so stream of consciousness, how did you get into it?

What do you think about the chapters being named after the Odyssey? Is there thematic overlap?

I enjoy reading Manuals and Standards, so my Favourite Book has to be:
The Architects' Handbook by Wiley Publishing.

But if we're talking Novels, then it comes down to either:
  • Neuromancer by William Gibson
  • Musashi by Eiji Yoshikawa
