Thats what i am always searching for, that fantastic feeling, even more when you are in absolute awe while reading, realizing you are holding a masterpiece in your hands.... and how you never want it to end
For me these were clearly (in no order):
Hyperion
The Sparrow
Radetzkymarsch
Swan Song
Debacle & La Terre (Zola)
The way back (Remarque)
Grapes of wrath, East of eden
Gone girl
No country for old men
Birdsong
Unknown soldier
Lonesome dove
Parts of the Red rising saga
City and the stars
Johnny got his gun
A fire upon the deep
Some of these do have ups and downs and don't wrap up as great as they should, but during parts of them you are simply WOW-ed by their magnificence.
It is equally frustrating when i "dont get" some supposed masterpieces and think that it would be a better experience if i had just read them in another time / phase of life.
