What's your favorite book, and when did you realize it was your #1?

Did you feel that way immediately, did it have to sink, did you find yourself thinking about it constantly for a while, when?

I've been pondering the books that I marked as favorites on Goodreads and some of them just don't see to click at this stage of my life but I'm not sure that's a good reason to remove them.

Of course, you don't have to label everything, but I like to keep a list and track these things.

For example, while Into the Wild meant a lot to me in 2020, I'm not sure I would resonate with it in the same way nowadays. However, even though I read The Green Mile just a few days ago, I keep thinking about it. Then, there's books like Jane Eyre that I can go back to any page and just feel in love.
