I would like to see this book as a school reading, because it helps to achieve life goals and become a better citizen, everyone should read it: Science of getting rich, from Wallace Wattles, get it here http://offto.net/wishihadreaditbefore/ It is not a novel. It is a guide to train your mindset. I choose it because I can share it. Similar to: The Seven Spiritual Laws of Success, from Deepak Chopra. It is not exactly difficult to find out which is the best book i have ever read, but then i am assaulted by some anxiety for having to discard other great books. Later, i realize that there is a best book for each purpose or mindset. If a person emphasizes a book, should also point the others books or contents that this selection covers; then it becomes a list of more than one book, thus useful as a reading guide. Well, this maybe beyond the scope of the usual mood of posted responses, but I wished to propose it. Maybe I start another discussion on it.

I still go for the ALchemist by Paulo Coelho, it is one great book filled with deep insights about life (and perhaps love in its GP form). :P

For the most engrossing experience I've ever had reading a book I will have to say like so many other people Orson Scott Card's Ender's Game. It is non-stop from cover to cover. You can't ask for too much more than that in a book. Then there is literature. I have so many different favorites in that category because of the variety of stories, ideas, paths for growth that can be experienced through well drawn categories and their situations. To name a few:Barbara Kingsolver's The Poisonwood Bible just for it's intense craftmanship and attention to detail. I was not crazy about the actual story. John Updike's A Prayer for Owen Meany, I like for the same reason's as Ender's Game. It was fully engrossing from beginning to end with added the bonus of incredible character development. And finally, one of those books that has stuck with me through the years, Too Kill a Mockingbird.

There are hundreds of best books I have read and I cannot single out which one is the best. Among them are: Jonathan Swifts Gulliver's Travel, Jan Austin's Pride and Prejudice, Ayn Rand's Fountain Head, O'Henry's short stories collection, Guy Muppusant's short stories. Good day.

I have not found a best book this year. Cassie Edwards has put out several good books. I like to read about American Indians and she writes very interesting stories. Cassie Edwards has writen several books that I call the savage series. There is Savage Thunder, Savage Devotion, Savage Grace, Savage fires, Savage joy, Savage Wonder, Savage heat, Savage Dance, Savage tears, Savage Longings, Savage dream and many more. These are all about different Indian tribes and she is very good with using facts when she talks about the tribes customes and ways. I have found that most of these books get my attention right from the beginning and holds me captivated until I finish the book. I think if you picked up one of these books you will see Cassie Edwards is a good writer.

I guess I consider myself a bookworm of sorts. I have read many books on many different subjects. I guess the one best overall book is the Lord of the Rings trilogy by J.R.R. Tolkien.
