Once upon a time, "The Lives of the Twelve Caesars" was my go-to book, but few people actually read it.

Wow, I finally found a kindred spirit! I haven't met anyone else who loves Tranquillus as much as I do. And in general, not many people read Roman writers:(

Vsadnitsa: My favorite Ray Bradbury story is "A Sound of Thunder" and "Fahrenheit 451" (sorry if I'm wrong - I don't remember exactly how many degrees))). By the way, if you're interested in horses, I recommend reading Leo Tolstoy's "Kholstomer." I haven't read it yet, but my literature teacher, who loves horses,

I like everything by Bradbury; I've reread his works about 12 times.

Ah...Tyack...Lana...let's say something...

"The Iliad" by Homer...
"The Rider Without a Head" by Mayne Reid...
"Ancient Rus' and the Great Steppe" by Gumilev...
"White Fang," "The Call of the Wild," "Smoke Bellew," "Smoke and Kid," and other works by Jack London...

Well, those are some of my favorite books...I can think of more.

Well... if I start listing them, it would take up 5 screens. It's easier to say that I don't read. And I don't read romance novels, trashy books, and other works by Daria Dontsova.

Ernest Hemingway - "For Whom the Bell Tolls" Che Guevara - "Episodes of the Revolutionary War" Gabriel Garcia Marquez - "One Hundred Years of Solitude", "No One Writes to the Colonel" These are the most important ones. There are many more related to his field of study... I suggest creating a separate thread about Lev Gumilev. I used to love adventure stories... "Treasure Island", "The Tale of Manco the Bold". And I still adore Jack London!

I love the books of Vonnegut, Hamsun, Faulkner, and Nabokov; I really enjoy books on mythology (except those written by various "wizards" and neopagans), as well as medieval books; among contemporary writers, I especially appreciate Pratchett and H. van Zeijck:)
But my absolute favorite author is Tolkien. What I like so much about him, I don't know, but for some reason, he simply stands out from the rest...

I respect your opinion, but could you be a bit more specific? A "favorite book" is a countable concept.

Yes, to be honest, you should have one, maybe two, tabletop books. For me, those are "The Lord of the Rings" and "The Elder Edda".

I also adore Che Guevara. While reading his "Bolivian Diary," I almost cried. It's a powerful piece.
By the way, I'm currently preparing a report on the topic: "Che Guevara's Economic Views."

Oh... I'm writing a paper on the topic of "Humor as a psychological phenomenon"... The main literature consists of books with 400 pages, written in small font in English, and filled with all sorts of experiments. It's incredibly boring.

Yes, Che Guevara is a truly remarkable person. But Hitler's "Mein Kampf" is also good.
(by the way, it sounds beautiful in Latin: "Mia Rexa," if I'm not mistaken).

My favorite stories by Bradbury are "A Sound of Thunder" and "Fahrenheit 451" (sorry if I'm wrong - I don't remember the exact number of degrees).

+ "The Martian Chronicles," and there are 541 degrees.

Bradbury is a good author, and "Something Wicked This Way Comes" is a great book. But it's not exactly my favorite. I read more often: 1) Tolkien, "The Lord of the Rings," "The Silmarillion." 2) Le Guin, "A Wizard of Earthsea." 3) some works by the Strugatsky brothers, some by Vernor Vinge. and 4) "Fundamentals of World Understanding of the New Era" by A. Klizovsky.

I'm actually reading the "Bolivian Diary" right now... A worthy man, worthy memories.
And as for the economic views, that's interesting... I haven't specifically looked into that... but I know a few things too. In those views, he differed from the Soviet Union. He was against money entirely.
Maybe you could let me read it?

Vladislav Krapivin - all works (I especially often reread "In the Night of the Great Tide"). An amazing writer...

By the way, I've also read a bit. I wouldn't say I'm well acquainted with his work... but some of it. After all, he wrote the novellas "The Poplar Shirt," "The Silver Tree with a Singing Cat," and "The Perforated Moon," right?

Hmm...
The Strugatsky brothers' "Hard to Be a God" and "Roadside Picnic".
O. Gromyko and M. Uspensky (Zhihar!) from a humor collection.
R. Sheckley's "Stories of Gregory and Arnold".
