Is it written 22 times throughout the book?
I'm glad you're interested in finishing it. Even if you hate it and think it's just a plotless endless book that puts you to sleep. The end changes everything.
So is Nick the protagonist of gatsby even though it’s really mostly written about his observations of gatsby and others?
Harry Potter. It reminds me of family, nostalgia from growing up, waiting for later books at midnight and then reading it as fast as possible, talking about them with friends and family, going to see the new movies in imax, watching the abc family marathons. Going to an HP themed college party. Great great memories, plus the books themselves were good. Especially the sixth one with all the pensieve memories, giving glimpses into characters’ mysterious pasts.
It could be that Fahrenheit 451 is the easiest for people in school to read and understand. brave new world has more philosophical debate parts, shakespeare references, and the ambiguous and confusing speaking scene with the characters towards the beginning while they’re being introduced. It might be the smartest of the 3 main dystopian books which means many people wont get of like it. 1984 does have the 2+2 part though.
1984 wasn’t assigned in school for me and brave new world was..so idk. Maybe the totalitarianism in 1984 is just easier/more one sided for people to give opinions about. It’s easier to denounce the party’s actions.
Unknown/Anonymous would be #1 so I could include a bunch of other older classic books or poems like the Bible, The Iliad and Odyssey, and other collections of oral stories or fairy tales like by Hans Christian Andersen and Grimm Brothers.
AI as my second because they could steal and print every book.
Third might be someone who wrote an extensive amount like Asimov. Plus he wrote about a variety of subjects, not just scifi.
For people wondering if they should read the epic of Gilgamesh, it has a bromance at the level of Achilles and Patroclus but just a bit more. Enkidu and Gilgamesh.
East of Eden sorta
I was really impressed by how entertaining the Time Machine was
The only book that I've read that has included the n-word where it wasn't used well was Freakonomics and that's because it wasn't from a fictional character, and also it was an audiobook so it came out of nowhere. Pretty much every other time it's spoken by characters that are portrayed as horrible, racist people.

You might like reading 100 years of solitude where one brother is one type, and the other is another. Then their names get recycled and switched through the generations.
