Flip-A-Thread: Best book you've ever read?

[CountDeMoney]

Well?

[Grey Fox]

Shit. That's hard. Going to have to think about this one a while.

[MadImmortalMan]

Paradise Lost



I know, weird pick, but I love it.

[Josephus]

God, so many. Just one?

I always say Crime and Punishment is my favourite novel.
But, man.... A Prayer for Owen Meany by John Irving is great.
REd Dragon by...um...the Silence of the Lambs guy, I remember reading in one sitting it was that good.

So many.

[Tamas]

I really liked a lot of books, but if I would have to pick quickly, it would be among War and Peace, Catch 22, or the Hyperion series...

[Norgy]

Probably Kafka's "The Process".

[Slargos]

In that case, Death of a Salesman.

I can see why you made your first pick to begin with: [You're] Not very original.

About the OP, I need to think about it, but in different periods of my life I've considered as favourites:

The adventures of Huckleberry Finn
Ten Little Indians
LOTR
Titus Groan
Dune
The Razor's Edge
The Name of The Rose and Foucault's Pendulum
Treasure Island
the lord of the flies

And others.

Watchmen or The Possibility of an Island.

[Slargos]

Titus Groan

A very aptly named book. 

[Pedrito]

ooohh, i forgot:

American Pastoral
The Human Stain
The Hitchhiker's guide to the galaxy

Shit, I have to cull some of these...but how?

A Soldier of the Great War.
