Best Book You've Ever Read?

[swas1980]

There are a few books which are my favorites but two of them really stand out as being the ones that I could read forever.

1.The Collected Short Stories - Roald Dahl (These short stories are captivating and remain attached with you forever)
2.Catch-22 - Joseph Heller (Definitely a book to be read multiple times since every-time its a new experience and worth to be in one's library)

Karl Marx - Capital

catch 22 in classics n god fathe too

This is ridiculously difficult to answer with one book. In fact, I'm not going to do it.

1. Hyperion - An epic space opera written in the form of a frame story, similar to the Decameron or Canterbury Tales. Philosophical, poetic, transcendent.
2. Historias de cronopios y de famas - The product of an endlessly fertile imagination. You will be forced to think deeply.
3. Mythago Wood - Explores the darkest of mythology in a deep, disorienting forest. Mysterious and gripping all the way through.
4. Tao Te Ching - An insightful collection of statements by Lao Tzu regarding the universe and how to live within it. Immensely beneficial for smoothing away harmful habits and reflecting upon your actions in life. Go for the translation by Brian Browne Walker.
5. A Song of Ice & Fire (series) - By far the most exciting fantasy series I have ever had the pleasure of reading, and don't doubt for an instant that it will become known in time as a work of great fantasy literature, up alongside Lord of the Rings and Chronicles of Narnia. You really can't go wrong with this one unless you're illiterate.

Holy Quran is the Best book of the Universe. it has Solution of each and evey problem of man's life. actuallt it is a complete code of life.

So nowhere in this "code of life" does it tell you not to be a dick?"

Then it might be a better option than I first thought.

Battlefield Earth - L.Ron Hubbard

Seriously?!!!

Any of the raunchy "sexy" Mills & Boon romance books.

on the road by Jack Kerouac

I agree with sh0ut, On the Road is a fantastic read. Dharma Bums is also a good one. If you haven't read any writings from the beat era (eg. Ginnsberg, Burroughs, Kerouac) you should really give them a chance.

Harry Potter ( all )

Herman Hesse - Steppenwolf and Siddhartha, the best books that come to my mind
