BEST BOOK

[Gacalisa]

what is the best book you ever read.

mine is 'Remembrance' by Jude Deveraux. i read like 15 of her books, but that is by far the best. the setting off course being Elizabethan age, the language amazing, the story incredible.

as a child i used to love the 'Wayside stories' books. i forget the author though.

how about yall?

My all time favorite book was 'The Pelican Brief' by John Grisham. It combined action, suspense, drama, into one piece of book. I read two nights in row, cover to cover, no interruptions.

JD Salinger's The Catcher in the Rye

[SomaliLight]

T"he brothers Kramazov", and "A fine balance"

[Gacalisa]

a book we had to read for school, that i actually like was 'the great gaspy'. that is true literature.

[Gatspy]

yeah the great gatsby was wicked too. we had to read back in HS as well.

[Samatr]

Wuthering Heights.

[Demure]

Isn't Jude Devereux a Romance author? I think I read a book or two of hers in my high school days

I read many good books, one of my all time favorates has to be The Alchamist by Paulo Coehlo. Great book!

[Gacalisa]

yeah, she is a historian, mainly European and Western history, so she bases all her romantic novels on the European history, not history as in dates and events, but more of the social life, economy, and role of class at the time. so she reflects the social history of Europe and "the new world" in her novels, which is great.

The best book i have ever read was the Great Gaspy, hands down.


The Note Book is not bad either.

[Gacalisa]

the awakening and scarlet letter, were great too

but for gaspy i loved it, but man i could not stand that lady, first she left him after he became new money, suddenly she was crying over his silk shirts , what the hell, and she said money had nothing to do with it.

[Nabeela]

I know i hated that lady too. Gatsby wasn't good enough for her because he had no good education and family background. He was a self made man, and the upper class rejected him, and for that reason she kept dumping his ass over and over again.

[Gacalisa]

well i wouldnt say he was self made, since he inherited his wealth, but prior to the luck, he was a just a regular guy trying to make it. and she loved him all the way, until the day he proposed to her.

I've read many books, But some are acceptational good, some were even better then others, However my favorite novelist is Dan Brown, Most of his novel are thriller fiction, I was really fascinated to see his one of his novels actually made into a motion picture film "The Da Vinci Code".

[quote=Samatr]Wuthering Heights.[/quote]

would you not say that Emilie Bronte is the most tedious writer?...the book is good but she drags her plot meticulously. Her sister Charlotte Bronte is a much more superb writer, she wrote Jane Eyre.

Gacalisa the scarlet letter is a beaustiful story, one of my favourites.
