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.

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.

MsOrange · 02-17-2005, 02:07 PM

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

Nighthawk76 · 02-17-2005, 02:14 PM

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

*Pleasant Tomorrow* · 02-17-2005, 04:54 PM

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.

Janet McFarland · 02-17-2005, 04:57 PM

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
