I had no idea about the author's back story.
My ex- MIL lives across Hampson Street from the house he grew up in. There is a plaque on the fence of the house.

My buddy lived on Marango on the next block he used to point out a house and say that was the fictional O'Reily house but I always called his bullshite

I think the house on Hampson is a bed and breakfast now.

The awkwardness of the character and his thinking out loud. When a writer can connect you with a story or character emotionally it is a piece of art.

I don't know, buy I can tell you what the most boring one is - "Great Expectations"

I guess it didn't happen for me. I haven't read Confederacy of Dunces and probably will. That being said, most of the people that listed it seemed to also like Catcher in the Rye. Another book I didn't get (not on anyone's list -to be fair) was the Kite Runner. Maybe it's just my taste in literature.

Nobody said any of Jack London's works yet? Call of the Wild was great.
Also, from history, I've noticed a lot of people have said With the Old Breed and Helmet for my Pillow. If y'all ever have a chance, read The Last Stand of Fox Company
It's about a company of Marines in the Korean War that had to hold a road open in order for the breakout of the Chosin Reservoir. They repelled MULTIPLE Chinese REGIMENTS. Truly an incredible story.

Everythings been mentioned but, this was pretty good.

Hillenbrand is a great author.
Every man should read Unbroken---a powerful non fiction book
GOAT book? very hard to say.
I liked several of Hemingway's novels and all his collections of short stories.
Fitzgerald's novels are pretty good too. A Tale of Two Cities is a great classic. Atlas Shrugged is not really great in a literary sense but was an influential book in my thinking. The Bible has to be the most important book in Western Civilization and I find myself reading the Psalms if I am in church and the preacher is boring---most of the time.

It's widely considered outdated pulp. The movie on the other hand ...
