Oh good God, I couldn't list even a fraction. I'm a voracious reader, and have several glass-front bookcases, absolutely filled with books, sometimes 2 deep, sometimes books on top of books. I enjoy reading actual books and not kindles or anything like that.
I love biographies and history the most. Looking at just the single bookcase across from me, a few titles are:
Mary Baker Eddy
Leak
My Fight is Your Fight
Mary, Queen of Scots
A Genius for War
Patton
Evolution
Daring Greatly
Cleopatra
Breaking the Surface
Katharine Hepburn (including Me, My Life, Kate Remembered <–I highly recommend this one!)
Broken
The Six Wives of Henry VIII
The Princes in the Tower
Doris Day: Her Own Story

Lots of Sci-Fi. Probably my favorite is Douglas Adams'
Hitchhiker's Guide to The Galaxy
"trilogy".
MAGA! FAFO!
Schrodinger's Cat walks into a bar, and doesn't. Dumbocraps: evil people who celebrate murder.

Yes! Yes! Yes! Loved
Hitchhiker's Guide
(book
and
movie both).
Do you read any Terry Pratchett? I have pretty much all of the Discworld series. That's my favourite reading that is fiction. One of the best fiction books I've read is
Good Omens.

I did the same thing with Robin Cook and Alison Weir. One good book that got me hooked and I hunted down everything else of theirs and read and read until my eyes bled.

Indeed. Given he was a practicing physician in Boston, he wrote about a lot of local facilities, and used very real and precise medical procedures to enhance his horror thrillers. If you have even a small background in the medical field, his writing is even that much more disturbing.

Too many to count. Sci-fi, philosophy, biographies, horror, drama, health. I don't like romances.
If I had to pick one book that made a lasting impression on me, it would have to be 'Look Younger Live Longer' by Gayelord Hauser. Although it was written years ago, his common sense health tips have stood the test of time and kept me pretty damn healthy.
