Best book you've ever read?

What's Hot

Looking to read some great books over Christmas, any personal favourites? Any genre

My personal shout is 1984 by George Orwell. I would put it up there was one of the greatest pieces of art ever created.

    guess if I had to chose one, I think probably Phillp Pullman's Dark Materials trilogy. Or American Gods by Neil Gaiman. I realise that's 4 books, but I never could keep to the brief. 

    I'm not locked in here with you, you are locked in here with me.

    'Best' book ..... not sure to be honest

    My favourite books are

    Fermat's last theorem (Simon Singh) - fascinating book on maths
    Surely you're joking mr Feynman (Richard Feynman) - personal anecdotes from the world's most interesting physicist

    When I saw you had commented @siraxeman I knew it would be the bible..... great book....but a bit far fetched in places.....

    Only far fetched when you disbelieve in a supernatural supreme creator - God.

    Possibly "The Idiot" by Dostoyevsky. Failing that "The Master and Margarita" by Mikhail Bulgakov (seeing a Russian theme here?) and also possibly "Atonement" by Ian McEwan.

    Your life will improve when you realise it’s better to be alone than chase people who do not really care about you. Saying YES to happiness means learning to say NO to things and people that stress you out.
