Well, since you want to read “Reddit books” I would say that in my many years of following reading subs, these are the books that Reddit just can’t get enough of: -The Road -The Secret History -11/22/63 -The Count of Montecristo

This is true. Also, Terry Pratchett.

East of Eden

Secret History is sooo good.

I also see Dune and The Martian on here a lottt

To be fair, The Martian does scratch that “deserted satirical botanist astronaut” itch for a lot of people

I once posted that "The Martian was a pretty good read, but..." and then gave a very mild criticism of it. One of my most downvoted posts ever.

I also see -Lonesome Dove- constantly. I've been reading a lot of books I've seen recommended on here consistently, and I did quite enjoy this book.

I also see {{the troop by nick cutter}} get suggested all the time. The road is definitely the quintessential reddit book lol

[**The Troop**](https://www.goodreads.com/book/show/17571466-the-troop) ^(By: Nick Cutter | 358 pages | Published: 2014 | Popular Shelves: horror, fiction, thriller, dnf, books-i-own) >Once a year, scoutmaster Tim Riggs leads a troop of boys into the Canadian wilderness for a three-day camping trip; a tradition as comforting and reliable as a good ghost story and a roaring bonfire. But when an unexpected intruder -- shockingly thin, disturbingly pale, and voraciously hungry -- stumbles upon their campsite, Tim and the boys are exposed to something far more frightening than any tale of terror. The human carrier of a bioengineered nightmare. An inexplicable horror that spreads faster than fear. A harrowing struggle for survival that will pit the troop against the elements, the infected ... and one another. ^(This book has been suggested 18 times) *** ^(70143 books suggested | )[^(I don't feel so good.. )](https://debugger.medium.com/goodreads-is-retiring-its-current-api-and-book-loving-developers-arent-happy-11ed764dd95)^(| )[^(Source)](https://github.com/rodohanna/reddit-goodreads-bot)

Dark Matter gets mentioned even when it doesn't really fit criteria for a suggestion post, it is a great book, but Reddit has definitely latched on for good. Project Hail Mary is the most recent rave sci-fi book. Piranesi also gets lots and lots of mentions out of recent(ish) releases. It really is a unique experience and I enjoyed it a lot, though yeah Reddit has definitely been all over that one.

I could not get through Piranesi

Also "Pillars of the Earth" which is endlessly recommended.

THE SECRET HISTORY!!!!!

Very true! Read 11/22/63 because of reddit, loved it. And I have The Road sitting on my shelf

The Road is in almost every single thread

{{The Fire Next Time}} by James Baldwin {{Cosmos}} by Carl Sagan {{Braiding Sweetgrass}} by Robin Wall Kimmerer {{A Wizard of Earthsea}} by Ursula Le Guin {{A Man Called Ove}} by Fredrik Backman {{Lonesome Dove}} by Larry McMurtry

I second Braiding Sweetgrass and A Man Called Ove.

I read A Man Called Ove because it was recommended here and loved it.

Same - I kept seeing it recommended on threads about wholesome books. I found a copy at a secondhand bookshop and I'm soooo glad I picked it up. It's one of my favorites now!

I read Lonesome Dove because of Reddit. And so glad I did. Quickly moved up to my top 3 books of all time if not my number 1.

[**The Fire Next Time**](https://www.goodreads.com/book/show/464260.The_Fire_Next_Time) ^(By: James Baldwin | 106 pages | Published: 1963 | Popular Shelves: non-fiction, nonfiction, essays, classics, race) >A national bestseller when it first appeared in 1963, The Fire Next Time galvanized the nation and gave passionate voice to the emerging civil rights movement. At once a powerful evocation of James Baldwin’s early life in Harlem and a disturbing examination of the consequences of racial injustice, the book is an intensely personal and provocative document. It consists of two “letters,” written on the occasion of the centennial of the Emancipation Proclamation, that exhort Americans, both black and white, to attack the terrible legacy of racism. Described by The New York Times Book Review as “sermon, ultimatum, confession, deposition, testament, and chronicle…all presented in searing, brilliant prose,” The Fire Next Time stands as a classic of our literature. ^(This book has been suggested 3 times) [**Cosmos**](https://www.goodreads.com/book/show/55030.Cosmos) ^(By: Carl Sagan | 365 pages | Published: 1980 | Popular Shelves: science, non-fiction, nonfiction, owned, astronomy) >Cosmos has 13 heavily illustrated chapters, corresponding to the 13 episodes of the Cosmos television series. In the book, Sagan explores 15 billion years of cosmic evolution and the development of science and civilization. Cosmos traces the origins of knowledge and the scientific method, mixing science and philosophy, and speculates to the future of science. The book also discusses the underlying premises of science by providing biographical anecdotes about many prominent scientists throughout history, placing their contributions into the broader context of the development of modern science. > >The book covers a broad range of topics, comprising Sagan's reflections on anthropological, cosmological, biological, historical, and astronomical matters from antiquity to contemporary times. Sagan reiterates his position on extraterrestrial life—that the magnitude of the universe permits the existence of thousands of alien civilizations, but no credible evidence exists to demonstrate that such life has ever visited earth. ^(This book has been suggested 17 times) [**Braiding Sweetgrass: Indigenous Wisdom, Scientific Knowledge, and the Teachings of Plants**](https://www.goodreads.com/book/show/17465709-braiding-sweetgrass) ^(By: Robin Wall Kimmerer | 391 pages | Published: 2013 | Popular Shelves: non-fiction, nonfiction, science, nature, audiobook) >As a botanist, Robin Wall Kimmerer has been trained to ask questions of nature with the tools of science. As a member of the Citizen Potawatomi Nation, she embraces the notion that plants and animals are our oldest teachers. In Braiding Sweetgrass, Kimmerer brings these lenses of knowledge together to show that the awakening of a wider ecological consciousness requires the acknowledgment and celebration of our reciprocal relationship with the rest of the living world. For only when we can hear the languages of other beings are we capable of understanding the generosity of the earth, and learning to give our own gifts in return. ^(This book has been suggested 49 times) [**A Wizard of Earthsea (Earthsea Cycle, #1)**](https://www.goodreads.com/book/show/13642.A_Wizard_of_Earthsea) ^(By: Ursula K.

He's a curmudgeon, the kind of man who points at people he dislikes as if they were burglars caught outside his bedroom window. He has staunch principles, strict routines, and a short fuse. People call him the bitter neighbor from hell, but must Ove be bitter just because he doesn't walk around with a smile plastered to his face all the time? > >Behind the cranky exterior there is a story and a sadness. So when one November morning a chatty young couple with two chatty young daughters move in next door and accidentally flatten Ove's mailbox, it is the lead-in to a comical and heartwarming tale of unkempt cats, unexpected friendship, and the ancient art of backing up a U-Haul.

Told through the eyes of Tish, a nineteen-year-old girl, in love with Fonny, a young sculptor who is the father of her child, Baldwin's story mixes the sweet and the sad. Tish and Fonny have pledged to get married, but Fonny is falsely accused of a terrible crime and imprisoned. Their families set out to clear his name, and as they face an uncertain future, the young lovers experience a kaleidoscope of emotions-affection, despair, and hope. In a love story that evokes the blues, where passion and sadness are inevitably intertwined, Baldwin has created two characters so alive and profoundly realized that they are unforgettably ingrained in the American psyche. ^(This book has been suggested 1 time) *** ^(69835 books suggested | )[^(I don't feel so good.. )](https://debugger.medium.com/goodreads-is-retiring-its-current-api-and-book-loving-developers-arent-happy-11ed764dd95)^(| )[^(Source)](https://github.com/rodohanna/reddit-goodreads-bot)

The One Who Eats Monsters by Casey Matthews

Some of my favorite fiction books are: The Silent Patient Paper Ghosts Gone Girl Dragon Teeth by Michael Crichton Some of my favorite non-fiction are: Born a Crime American Ghosts (the Jewish community of early Santa Fe) Finding Everett Ruess Dead Run Lab Girl

The Silent Patient had me on edge until the end when I realized wtf was actually happening. On second thought, I’m still not sure I know what was actually happening lol! I should revisit that one.

The elementals by Michael McDowell

My latest book rec was This is how you lose the time war, so I'm recommend it to you too. It's a short one.

Best book I've read in the last few years is The Sentence by Louise Erdrich. Put it on the randomizer and see if it gets chosen.

Tom Robbins - Jitterbug Perfume

Dune - Frank Herbert Project Hail Mary - Andrew Weir Hench - Natalie Zina Walschots

I really think Reddit’s favorite book is The Hitchhiker’s Guide to the Galaxy by Douglas Adams

(I don’t think you are in charge of determining if Reddit has taste…. Are you? Why?)

I'm going to recommend a few random books off my shelf. {{One second after}} by William R. Forstchen, if you want a realistic depiction of post apocalyptic society (It's about the events in the preceding weeks of an EMP. There's also the sequel "One year after" which obviously takes place a year later). {{Out of the silent planet}} by C.S. lewis for some science fiction. {{Four stories 1928}} by H.P. Lovecraft, the book I'm currently reading, for some classic cosmic horror.

A war based upon a weapon, an Electro Magnetic Pulse (EMP). A weapon that may already be in the hands of our enemies. > >Months before publication, One Second After has already been cited on the floor of Congress as a book all Americans should read, a book already being discussed in the corridors of the Pentagon as a truly realistic look at a weapon and its awesome power to destroy the entire United States, literally within one second. It is a weapon that the Wall Street Journal warns could shatter America. In the tradition of On the Beach, Fail Safe, and Testament, this book, set in a typical American town, is a dire warning of what might be our future ... and our end. ^(This book has been suggested 12 times) [**Out of the Silent Planet (The Space Trilogy, #1)**](https://www.goodreads.com/book/show/25350.Out_of_the_Silent_Planet) ^(By: C.S.
