What's the Best Book you've ever read?

[Forever_Jung]

Fifth Business, by Robertson Davies.

 

[DiscoBiscuit]

The Asian Saga by James Clavell:

 

[Rasofy]

Jeffrey Archer's 'Kane and Abel'

 

[Cellmold]

Good Omens by Terry Pratchett and Neil Gaimon.

I read it about twice a year...still makes me laugh.

 

[SD45T-2]

As for novels, either Once an Eagle by Anton Myrer or Matterhorn by Karl Marlantes.

 

[OptoGypsy]

Fear and Loathing in Las Vegas by Hunter S. Thompson

 

[Cloud of Thunder]

Probably Anna Karenina.

I edited the original post and replaced Hyperspace with this: http://www.projectmind.org/

Project Mind is my new favorite book. It goes into the fundamental questions of existence.

 

[Anna Jorovic]

This is a tough question. For pure writing skill it would be 'A Tale of Two Cities' by Charles Dickens.

 

[Umbriel]

Jane Eyre.

 

[Umbriel]

Atlas Shrugged.

You forgot to add the word sucks to the end of that sentence.

 

[Umbriel]

Boo hiss. Not awful but the best??

Try Mistborn by Brandon Sanderson. Three books. Best of anything I've ever read.

Also, there is a book called True Names by Verner Vinge that I liked a lot.

Yeah, those Mistborn books are really cool. Have you read his other books?

Have you ever read it?

Didn't think so.

I have actually. Have you? Dagny Taggart is one of the most boring characters I've read about, and the plot isn't very interesting either.

The haters always refer to the characterization first.

Start a new thread where we can discuss this.

Atlas Shrugged.

same.

 

[Julius_Van_Der_Beak]

Mother Night, by Kurt Vonnegut. Not his most well known book by any stretch of the imagination, but worth a look to anyone who hasn't read it already.

 

[citizen cane]

Way too many to pick from.

 

[AnnaInMoscow]

Harry Potter and the Order of the Phoenix
