The Lord of the Rings, for sure. But then I did not read for a few decades, and recently got back into reading thanks to audiobooks. Since then, the first book that I loved every moment of was The Lies of Locke Lamora.

My parents gave me that book when I was 9 because they thought it was a collection of fairy tales. I fell in love with the first sentence.
