I just finished reading 'The Notebook' which is now a film,and i thought its the best book I have ever read.
If anyone like to read,what is the best book you've ever read,and have you read it more than once,and do you own it?

She's Come Undone (by Wally Lamb) is possibly the best book I've had the pleasure of reading. A few years ago I bought it and have read it a few times since then. It never gets old and is always inspiring. Once I open it back up, it's hard to put down. :lol:

I absolutely loved Bittersweet by Danielle Steel,and I have read it numerous times.Its just very uplifting.
I also loved The World Is Full Of Married Men by Jackie Collins.I couldn't put it down once i began reading it,now i own it,and read it all the time.It never gets boring.Its a GREAT book.
And to answer another one of your questions,I LOVE to read.

This is a tough question, b/c I LOVE to read. But I loved "Five People You Meet in Heaven." I'd definitely recommend it to anybody who hasn't read it.

I also just finished "Perfect Match" by Jodi Picoult. She also wrote 2 other books, "The Pact," and "Plain Truth" which were made into Lifetime movies. All three of those are great.

And of course, the "Harry Potter" novels.

The Hobbit by J.R.R. Tolkien as well as any cookbook or travel guide book!

The Perks of Being A Wallflower by: Stephen Chbosky

I love anything by Stephen King. It's a toss up between Pet Cemetary, or The Green Mile. Possibly The Green Mile, because that book started my love of reading.

any of JOhn Grisham's books are awesome.. I Loved "The Rainmaker" and "The Pelican Brief" (the movie was aweful compared to the book)

Prozac Nation by Elizabeth Wurtzel, Salem's Lot by Stephen King, and All The President's Men by Bob Woodward and Carl Bernstein are my all time favorite books. In fact I was so insipred by All The President's Men that for a short time in college I changed my major to journalism.

A series of Unfortunate Events, they are really good

I forgot what it was called, but something a few years ago. It was for kids younger than me, but it made me cry so whatever, I liked it.

I've always loved the Nancy Drew books. They are all really good, so I don't have a favorite. Same goes with the Harry Potter books. And with The Princess Diaries books.The only book I can think of is The Diary of Anne Frank. I loved it.

Val was the girl-next-door of the 70s!
I read She's come undone in one sitting. Very good and very easy reading.
I love Pride & Prejudice

Oh God... I've read so many books that I can't even keep track of them anymore. It's pathetic. But these stand out in my mind as the absolute best.

-- 'The Runaway Jury' and 'The Rainmaker', by John Grisham
-- 'A Tree Grows in Brooklyn', by Betty Smith
-- 'More, Now, Again: A Memoir of Addiction' by Elizabeth Wurtzel
-- The Harry Potter series, by J.K. Rowling
-- 'Gone For Good', by Harlan Coban
-- 'Annie On My Mind', by Nancy Garden
-- 'The Secret History', by Donna Tart
-- 'The Bell Jar', by Sylvia Plath

those two are awesome.. i got them both at Goodwill for a quarter!

The Bell Jar (Sylvia Plath)
The Perks of Being A Wallflower (Steven Chbosky)
The Catcher in the Rye (JD Salinger)

yay for teenage angst.

go dog go.

The book "Alive" was really interesting. It's the story of the Andes survivors. A plane crash at the 11,000 foot level in the Andes mountains, they are stuck up there for 72 days. Out of 45 or so, only 16 survived. The book is really detailed- it's almost like you're there with them.
Two of the survivors walked down the mountain to find help.

go dog go.

Do you like my hat? ;)

''Dangerous Minds'', better than the movie! IMHO
LouAnne Johnson sure knows how to write!

And of course by Dave Pelzer.
''A Child Called It.''

'' The Lost Boy.''
''A Man Named Dave.''
I hope he writes more books about his adult life soon!

Val was the girl-next-door of the 70s!

She was somethin'! :)

"I am the Cheese" by Robert Cormier...talk about a book where you think one thing is going on but it turns out to be something just twisted!

I also love "Catcher in the Rye", "To Kill a Mockingbird", and the Harry Potter series as well :)

There are quite a few books I have read that I like. Can't list just one.


I haven't read the whole thing but I think the best book I've ever read is Ball Four by Jim Bouton. He was a former Yankees pitcher and Ball Four is sort of a diary he kept during his playing days. It surprised me what went on in the clubhouse back then. :eek: :lol: When it first came out in 1970 it caused such a huge uproar and then-commisioner Bowie Kuhn even tried to get him to sign a contract saying that the events in the book were not true.

One of the best books I have read was an autobiography of Boy George (I know, don't laugh :lol: ) but it was actually excellent and funny, even though I am not a fan of his or Culture Club.

By FAR "The Da Vinci Code" by Dan Brown. An absolute must read for anyone who enjoys reading for pleasure. I loved it! :D

I know you said don't laugh but I have to at that! :lol:

With TV and the net its been a while since I read a good book. Maybe "Its a perfect Day for Banana Fish", I think that was a good one.

So said don't laugh but I have to at that! :lol:

It was an awesome read...believe it or not...I was amazed because I am not a fan of his nor am I a fan of his music, but his life story was very interesting and witty.

1984 by George Orwell made a bigger impression on me than any other book, but that was five years ago. I think I'll read it again and see if I still like it that much.

To Kill a Mockingbird
I also like the Harry Potter books. I don't read many books as reading is not one of my strong subjects. I have a hard time staying focused so I prefer books without a bunch of big words and confusing plots. I found Mockingbird and the Harry Potter series fairly easy to read and I was actually able to finish them all the way through.

I've always been a big reader, its hard to narrow it down to just a few favorites:

Breakfast of Champions - Kurt Vonnegut
Dirk Gently's Holistic Detective Agency - Douglas Adams
The Girl Who Loved Tom Gordon - Stephen King
What's A Girl Gotta Do? - Sparkle Hayter
The Stealer of Souls - Michael Moorcock
Neuromancer - William Gibson
Fletch - Gregory McDonald
Illusion - Paula Volsky
anything by Elmore Leonard or Carl Hiaasen

catcher in the rye - j.d salinger

Catcher In the Rye was good, and interesting however I didn't really go for the ending. And I know this isn't original but I really enjoyed The Outsiders. And I'm embarresed to admit this but I did enjoy a couple of Judy Blume books when I was younger like Here's To You Rachel Robinson. And I like the Heartland series.

I read a book once about Alien encounters/Alien abductions...

I dont know if it was the same book that guy read on Unsolved Mysteries but it was sure fascinating....... I think they are all over the place and are afraid to show themselves because they know what the human animal does to outsiders...

I dont really read books anymore........
