Hello everyone, straight forward as the title is what's one book regardless of it being a classic or hidden gem that you absolutely loved and consequently recommend?

Please do go into detail of the why, what's, who's and anything else that made it so special. For me, right now it's Society of the Snow while the movie on Netflix has brought a new light to it, I really would recommend it to anyone wanting a less bleak outlook, a brief summary, it details the perspective of a plane crash deep in the Andes snow region, a survival against the elements and what it entails, however, it's focus on compassion, camaraderie, and empathy of people throughly going through a terrible situation is hauntingly beautiful.

For the lack of words to end this post, I'll do it with a quote, even if the thread dies if you consider giving the book a read, I hope you enjoy it.

“Keep taking care of each other. And tell everyone what we did on the mountain.” – Numa Turcatti

probably halo reach, actually any halo book written in the bungie era, the books go into immense depth about the human desperation and the inevitability of the race's end, and yet they keep going on, its brave yeah sure but i dont think i can ever do justice to the books like ghosts of onyx like eric nylund did. just imagine for a second you as a human fight an alien youve never seen before eons more advamced than you and you win, but then come another different stronger one, and another stronger one, and another, and another and when you defeat those the ancient of days past rise from the dead and fight you. and then life itself formed into a gross amalgamation of muscle and tissue and spores, TLDR; halo is the story of manking on its knees, being beaten every step of the way, yet still not giving up because the whole universe is against them.
