Syz Favorite Books

1-10 are a real top ten, the rest are in no order. If the book is a part of a series, I counted the whole series as one entry on the list. Some of these are not "good" but they were either formative or gave me immense brainworms, and so here they are.
Also this list is skewed by my life stages of: nerd child in the 90s who only reads books and doesn't talk to people->nerd who reads books but also has a social life->youth librarian->youth librarian who is too burnt out to read anything ever again->post-librarian remembering how to read??? what is a book?? Also obligatory fuck jkr, I dont give her money or attention, etc etc, but alas i was 11 in 1997 so they gotta be on the list even if idk if i can ever reread.
