What Are Your All-Time Favorite Books?

I don't read as much as i hunt in books. I have many books that i then drill into but i do it in a certain way where i can almost get to the part of the book that is the part that i need to understand and so for the last year and a half i wanted to study um the rises and declines of reserve currencies which led me to the rises and decline of empires. Paul Kennedy's rising to the kind of empires or great powers is a great book. Richard Dawkins a river from Eden, Joseph Campbell's hero of a thousand faces are good too.
