My two favorites from the last few months have been The Way of the Strangers by Graeme Wood and The Immortality Key by Brian Muraresku.

How can one choose? It is so much connected to my mindset at the time of reading.

The Murder of Roger Ackroyd. I was going to complain about having to only choose one book before realizing that it pretty much always came back to that. The honorable mentions are all stuff that comes with a message like The Giver or The Samurai's Garden, which I do recommend. But I'm a sucker for a good mystery and TMORA was a good exercise in thinking outside of the box.
Please feel free to list any book you think worth listing! No limits on how many.
Empire of Normality, Neurodiversity and capitalism by Robert Chapman
It's about the normalization of the human centered on eugenic and how it serves the capitalism to the detrimental of the neurodiversity and the neurodivergents.
Snow Crash - Niel Stephenson
Choke - Chuck Palahnuik
Timeline - Michael Chricton
It's hard to pick which one I like the best.
Ender's Game by Orson Scott Card
Am I allowed to have a few? Because I can’t pick just one haha: Priory of the Orange Tree, Jane Eyre, Lord of the Rings series, A Song of Ice and Fire series (yes, even after the season that will not be named), Fingersmith, Rebecca, Redwall series. There’s more, but I feel like this is too many already 😅
I have Devil House in my to read pile! I’m going to put it at the top of the stack now

My favourite book is hands down the scorpio races by maggie stiefvater. I've read that book so many times I've lost count now
Great title!
Lord Valentine’s Castle by Robert Silverberg
I'm probably just a basic bitch but I reread Frankenstein as an adult and it hits.
It very much does! Good choice.
