Best Book You've Ever Read?

[The Flying Cow]

I'd have to say the book that I've most enjoyed reading recently was George Orwell's 1984. But I have read other very impressive shite. Stuff like Margaret Atwood's "The Handmaid's Tale" and any of Jorge Luis Borges' short stories.

My pick is The Rules of Attraction by Bret Easton Ellis.

Lord of The Rings, i think

[deepak1uw]

Adventures of Sherlock Holmes by Arthur Conan Doyle

The count of monte christo by alexander dumas is a very good book to read.

[MadIrish]

Catch 22 by Joseph Heller.

Captures the complete absurdity of war (and life) absolutey perfectly.. and its utterly hilarious to boot. Not necessarily the "best" book I've ever read, but certainly my favourite.

oracle book

[IdolEyes787]

The Catcher in the Rye by JD Salinger

[The Flying Cow]

That book is a bit whiney Idol IMO. I thought it was the bible when I read it, but growing older and looking back, it's a bit of an overly sour social commentary.

I also thoroughly enjoyed reading The Trial by Franz Kafka. Great book.
