What’s your all-time favorite novel? I’m just looking for the GOAT; I’m tired of reading books that lots of people like but no one really loves.

A perennial classic for a reason. I’ve secretly harbored a fantasy of naming my daughter Francie after the lead character.

“Favorite book of all time. Also a film, but I've never seen it. The book is where it's at! Detailed descriptions of everyday life. Also, the only book that's ever made me tear up. But there's a good dose of happiness as well. My mom gave it to me as a birthday gift when I was 15, and I can't even tell you how many times I've re-read it (in my early 40s now)!”
