Angels & Demons, promptly read all of Dan Brown books after it was so good

For an honorable mention, I just finished the Twilight series by Stephanie Meyer and was impressed, I'd recommend them to anyone.

I don't know actually. But I guess it is some Michael Moore book,

Although I can't say it's the best book- at least from a purely technical standpoint- when I think back on all the books I've read (and I read a lot), the one that had the greatest impact was Red Dragon by Thomas Harris.

An anecdote...
I had just finished the book when, riding the subway one day, I spotted a woman across the aisle reading it.
Suddenly, her eyes went round, she shuddered and put the tome down.
I leaned over and said:

Spoiler: Show

She just nodded and gave me a sick grin.
And started reading again.

It's that kind of book.
