What is the best book, fictional or factual, that you have ever read? Please state only one and give your reasons...
Probably To Kill A Mockingbird.
Brilliant on so many levels.

Ken Follet - World without end (fictional)
It's an independent follow up after his previos novel Pillars of the earth - World without end is 1100 pages of pure enjoyment, set in England during the start of 1300 and some 60 years ahead ... the plots, the scenario and the characters are very intelligently sewed together - this is the kind of book you really don't want to end but just continue for another 1000 pages

Pls don't say 1984, it's overrated.
Mine would be The Journeyer by Gary Jennings, a novel about Marco Polo and his travel to the court of Kubilai Khan.

Blackbelts are just whitebelts who have never quit.
Shadow Puppets by Orson Scott Card, part of the Ender's Game series.
Flight of the Intruder by Stephen Coonts. It was a pity the movie sucked goats ballz.
Hard to say, don't often read any super well known books, specifically those that aren't a story.
One of Chris Ryan's maybe.

I read the book, and I liked the movie.VspyVspy wrote:

Isn't it funny how (so far) there have been about 14 people replying, and all are intelligent (to varying degrees), and many have similar values, yet there hasn't been the same book mentioned twice.

I actually thought of To Kill A Mockingbird but you had already mentioned it. Lord of the Flies is also up there, but I consider those books a given .ZombieVampire! wrote:

Almost read the Lord of the Flies when I was younger, but my mum wouldn't let me.
Catcher in the Rye I've never really wanted to read, and only rarely heard mentioned (perhaps it's an American thing?).
Fahrenheit 451 I've been meaning to read.
I love Tom Sharpe's books.
They are hysterically funny. Wilt was hilarious.

It is perfection.
Nothing compares out of the books that I've read with the story of Lestat and the other Vampires. I'm not sure how you all feel about Anne Rice, but I've read the series twice, which is quite a task for my ADD ass, and pray a real movie will be made (Interview with the Vampire was amazing!).
If I could actually finish it, I'm sure that Don Quixote would take the spot for favorite. I'm halfway through and it's been like a year or two since I've picked it up. I don't want to start from the beginning, but the stories are very entertaining and it feels like I'm actually reading something worth reading.
