"How cliché would it be to name A Midsummer Night's Dream for that position? How a scale from one to you citing Le Morte for your favorite novel?"

"Ah, cliches are cliches for a reason." He pondered...."I would say it would be the Duke of Mont'e Cr'sto. A ale of sweet revenge against usurpers unlawfully overtaking one'"s position and riches. Good prose too."

[Dare Shah]

"Ah. Now you're speaking my language. The drama. The storm of emotions. Inescapable fate built upon a cascade of events, each ineluctable and forcing the next.

Just the issue that the author is a bit too aware of how well they write, and cannot help but show off regularly. Hence a lot of sections that are longer than they need to be. Pride is strength as much as poison."

"Ah, do you prefer humble prose, than over mere braggartry?" He raised an eyebrow in question. "What would be your favorite novel then, Lady Shah?"

[Dare Shah]

"Braggartry is the chocolate of epics: It's extremely good and pleasant, until you really go overboard, then it becomes sickening.

As for favorite novel, hm... Maybe El ingenioso hidalgo de la Mancha? ‘The book that contains all books.’"
