Best book ever?

Exclusing the bible, what is the best book you have ever read? does not have to be the book you are reading now.

Oh Yea!!

 

Death of a Salesman by Arthur Miller, I think I do an exam on it in a few months. A story of a man following the American dream to his death.

37°2 le matin (Betty Blue) or Sotos by Philipe Djian, i guess.

 

Apart from the only "Book" (the Bible) my vote goes for:

Grace Abounding to the Chief of Sinners by John Bunyan.

"Grace Abounding"?...That name rings a bell......wasn't she a famous Australian Kangaroo impersonator?.......



Cochise,

 

"Best" is a matter of judgment, of course, but my all-time favorite, read till it's fallen apart and then replaced (if I can find a fresh copy) over and over, is Ayn Rand's "Atlas Shrugged".

# 2 on my list would be Spider Robinson's "Callahan Chronicles", an anthology of nearly all his Callahan short stories.

 

Songs of Kabir Translated by Rabindranath Tagore. Introduction by Evelyn Underhill.

Acadia

 

Impossible to choose the best, but here's a few:

Malcolm Lowry - Under the Volcano
Ford Madox Ford - The Good Soldier
Vladimir Nabokov - Lolita
William Faulkner - The Sound and the Fury
William S. Burroughs - Naked Lunch

etc etc... and that's just fiction.

 

This has always been an enjoyable book.

 

I read a heck of a lot- but this book somehow popped into my head immediately...
