    Let me explain:

    By **”Best Book(s)”** I mean the book (non-fiction or fiction) that is objectively (best written, perfect plot (if any) with hardly any plot holes, characters with excellent development, etc.

    By **”Favorite Book(s)”** I mean the one you subjectively prefer. I mean: “I admit it, it’s not the best book in the world, so what? I love it.”

    **Rules:**

    * It has to have a Spanish translation or have been originally written in Spanish language.
    * Can be from any country, year, or genre.
    * Standalone or finished book series.
    * There can be one or more suggestions for each category, but each suggestion must be written like this: *Title* by Author.
    * You can separate them by the categories mentioned, or not make it clear which is which or mix them up so that I am not influenced by bias.

    I look forward to your suggestions!

    1. The riftwar series by Raymond Feist, followed by the Empire Series by Janny Hurst and Raymond Feist. It’s my favourite set of books.. they are currently making the tv series of it now. It’s very very good

      Best book: honestly don’t know. I would suggest Nabokov but that name tends to bring hate on Reddit. I know the book is about a sick f*ck, but the writing is flawless imo.
      Favourite book: Persuasion by Jane Austen.
      Sorry for not adhering to your stipulated formatting. Honestly, I couldn’t be bothered 🙂

      My best and favourite books are a bit mixed up together so I’ve not separated them – they’re all well written, and all amongst my favourites! Wolf Hall has the most in depth and incisive character work so is probably technically the best

      Wolf Hall trilogy, by Hilary Mantel

      Persuasion, by Jane Austen

      Rebecca, by Daphne du Maurier

      Captain Corelli’s Mandolin, by Louis de Bernières

    4. Oh I can never narrow it down to one. There’s just too many good books. Some of my absolute favorites — that I wish I could read again for the first time or they were just as good the second time around:

      – Tomorrow and Tomorrow and Tomorrow by Gabrielle Zevin
      – Middlesex by Jeffrey Eugenides
      – Piransei by Susanna Clarke
      – The 7½ Deaths of Evelyn Hardcastle by Stuart Turton
      – Cloud Atlas by David Mitchell
      – Never Let Me Go by Kazuo Ishiguro

    5. Best book: Richard Ellman’s biography of James Joyce – just WOW!

      Favorite: Used to be LOTR, but now it comes down to a hard choice between Terry Pratchett’s Discworld and Lois McMaster Bujold’s Barrayar series – I keep rereading/ rehearing all of them.
