Do you have any books that you would rate “6 stars”?

A 6 star book would be a book that is absolutely perfect, and more. Better than a perfect 5 stars. It goes above and beyond all your expectations and any standards you could imagine. Usually I see people on Tiktok post about their 6 star reads, and I would love to know if people over here have the same feelings.

Here are mine:

1. The Master and Margarita by Mikhail Bulgakov (P&V translation). This is my all time favorite book, and I’m currently rereading it even though I only finished it back in October the first time around! Whenever I see people comment about this book, I almost always respond telling them how much I love it. Absolutely flawless.

2. The Stranger by Albert Camus (Matthew Ward translation)

3. The Hour of the Star by Clarice Lispector (Benjamin Moser translation)

4. Giovanni’s Room by James Baldwin

I’m always curious to hear people’s opinions, especially across different genres. I recently asked this question, and the responses I received were very similar (in the classics realm, lots of Dostoevsky and Baldwin). So, I would love to know what people on this sub think!
