Best Book That You Ever Read?

[A$AP SaVaGe]

Inspired by boro's thread. I want to know some of the best books that you read or strongly recommend others reading...?


As a college student, I'd have to admit that I don't read as much as I'm suppose to. I'm thinking about making it a habit of mine to start doing so, so I would be able to build up my vocabulary and open my mind up to new things.

Discuss.

[knightmelodic]

I've read so many great books in many different catagories, but if forced to pick one, I'd have to say The Color Purple. I literally couldn't put it down until I finished.

[NICKLEBAGKILLA]

[crossovernegro]

The Stand ... and also Bag of Bones. Read that one right after someone close to me died and it hit home like you wouldn't believe. Oh.... and honorable mention to Anne Rice's "Queen of the Damned".

My best friend gave me this book when we were in high school. She was devout 7th day Adventist.

What is that book about? Never read it, but still have it.

i also grew up in the same church,but i no longer go,not cause of the church or its teachings.it deals with bible prophecies,but what got me was the historical findings,old u.s laws,and so on its a good read.the religious side of it doesn't go to well with many.i read it when i was young aswell. read it you may like it.are ya'll still friends?i think she was lookin out for you by givin you it.just my thoughts
