My favorite book is The Odyssey, an ancient Greek epic poem by Homer. The poem is the story of Odysseus, king of Ithaca, who wanders for 10 years trying to get home after the Trojan War.
In my opinion, it is a sensational book and a wonderful piece of literature.
There are more than only one, but if I should give an exemple in this moment I would prefer John Dewey's book "The Quest For Certainty".
This book was very useful when I was reading for my PhD.

Dear Jagmohan
I have several favorite books. To make a list of all of them is beyond the scope of this answer. Rightly now, I am thinking of Piaget's book: To understand is to invent: The future of education. As I see it, only education can save societies and even individuals from possibe collapse, be it violent or gradual. Of course, education is costly, but it is far less costly than its alternative, ignorance. These ideas pervade this Piagetian book. Because of this, it is one of my favorite books.
Best regards,
Orlando
I have been curious after my given answer above, which other proposals or best experiences with a book are given, and I think, it is very interesting to read the answers. There is a difference between serveral kinds of lliterature Holy boolks of a religion are difficult to compare with bestsellers of entertaining literature. But in one respect, these two categories, religion and entertainment, are comparable. In the holy books of monotheism (Judaism, Islam, Christianity) there are very gruesome stories that turn opponents of faith into victims. In the Bible, for example, some psalms are filled with revenge and hatred (towards the opponents of the faith), for that reason alone I could not read them as a critical Christian without reservations. Many people, however, enjoy books and TV series, in which many murders and atrocities happen. I do not want to condemn that, I am only interested, as a scientist, in why this is the case, and I would like to ask myself this question.
Arthur Conan Doyle's "The Hound of Baskerville" (Sherlock Holmes novel)
Hello,
There are more than only one, but general, I love a scientific book and atlas book.
Am having difficult time to think but I can't throw away the fact that FUNDAMENTALS OF ANALYTICAL CHEMISTRY by Skoog, West, Holler and Crouch has been a great help as teaching note with basic principle.
Proverbs and Ecclesiastes (of the Hebrew Bible); not to forget the Psalms.
Dune (franchise) by Frank Herbert,
A fictional micro-macrocosm of humanity... Of who we are... Could possible be...
There are so many good books and authors. Thw one I often return to os Khalil Djubran: The Prophet. I also like the Amber Rabitt and many many more.
I've read many. But then, I've not found any that thrilled me like MACBETH by William Shakespeare. As a teenager, I read it over and over; and I'm yet to read any other book that interests me better!!!
Ethics is the topic which is close to my heart, and this book will help many who need to study in depth about ethics.
Beauchamp, T. L., & Childress, J. F. (2001). Principles of biomedical ethics. Oxford University Press, USA.
My favourate book ever is "The Holy Bible". Nothing can be compared to this great BOOK.
I’ve read so many wonderful books that I can’t really call any particular one a favorite, but here are some that immediately sprang to mind, not because they are nonpareil, but merely because I happened to think of them at the moment:
Ray Bradbury, Dandelion Wine, which deals with themes of youth, old age, small-town life, and humanity. The genre is sometimes described as “nostalgic autobiographical fantasy”.
Mark Twain, Life on the Mississippi. I especially loved the descriptions of a riverboat captain’s know-how and local knowledge for navigating the Mississippi under constantly changing conditions. (A very recently read book in a similar vein is Erskine Childers, The Riddle of the Sands, with detailed descriptions of navigating the tidal waters of the Frisian islands, but I still much prefer Twain.)
Norman Mailer, Ancient Evenings, a tour de force which will be appreciated by anyone enamoured of ancient Egypt.
Ernest Hemingway, Islands in the Stream, memorable for its riveting description of a marlin fishing trip that will get your pulse racing.
As a philosopher, the book that initially got me hooked as an undergrad was John Hospers, An Introduction to Philosophical Analysis, 2nd edition. (Later editions messed up what was a good thing, apparently with the intent of disrupting the trade in used copies for university courses.) After several futile post-MA years of attempting to transfer my skills to a non-academic career, I decided to return to university for a PhD in philosophy. I had read only two philosophy books during those years. The one that inspired me to return to philosophy was Arthur Pap, Semantics and Necessary Truth.
And of course there’s all of Shakespeare. I am especially fond of The Tempest and all adaptations, parodies, and retellings thereof.
There are so many books by great intellectuals/ philosophers that I have read and I think I would fall short of space if I mention all of them.
Books by Elif Shafak, specifically: "The 40 rules of Love", wherein she beautifully explains the difference between spiritual and materialistic love by narrating Jalal-ud-din-Balkh (Rumi) and Shams Tabrizi's story.
Another author which is very close to my heart, who is more of an exemplar to me, is William Shakespeare. His works are meticulous with a tinge of twists and turns, which always give me a new aspect to this life. Some of his works which I like are: "The Comedy of Errors", is one of the initial plays of his career and is a farce comedy, & revolves around two twins which were separated at birth. It has many adaptations, and thus, worth reading. It will surely cherish your soul.
Umberto Eco's "The Name of the Rose", was his debut masterpiece and was based on Italian monastery's murder mystery set set in the year 1327.
My favorite book is swamy Vivekananda written book on Chicago speech.
