The Brothers Karamazov. Can't think of a more amazing novel

Dune, by Frank Herbert. It's every bit as huge and immersive as LOTR but more philosophical and profound. I also really liked Wuthering Heights by Emily Bronte. It's difficult to read at first because of the diction and sentence structure, but it is amazingly powerful.

Wuthering Heights was good, although it kind of bordered on soapopera with the love triangles and people dying conveniently. But still a good read.

Gates of Fire

The Prophet is a close second

siddharta was amazing, sophie's world is a pretty good read. what kind of books do you like?

 

[ScottyB]

Best in what manner? Writing or entertainment? For writing I would say Othello, though it is a play. For entertainment 1984 or Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy.

wow...no Lord of the Rings yet?

 

[SKORPI0]

Books by Lobsang Rampa

 

[n yusef]

100 Years of Solitude, Crime and Punishment, Notes From the Underground.

I also like most of Orson Scott Card's books.

he asked for the BEST book you've ever read. If LotR is the best series of books you've ever read, then chances are, you're not reading enough

 

[everman]

Where's the Lord of The Rings? It's definitly up there.

i liked ender's game, the hitchhikers guide to the galaxy series. i also really liked a rather difficult book called Zen and the Art of Motorcycle Maintenane. It is a philosophical book, but it is a very very interesting book that says a lot of very important things. it's a good book.

Small Stakes Hold Em (well it's the book that's earned me the most money )

Stephenson's Snow Crash is good, but his Cryptonomicon is much, much better, as is his Baroque Cycle trilogy.

yeah, Cryptonomicon was amazing. One of my favorites.

While I really like reading Stephenson's books (the opening bit about the pizza delivery guy in Snow Crash is dazzling), I am always let down by the endings; they never seem satisfying. It's almost as if he just gets tired of writing and just stops (particularly Cryptonomicon!).

I have to admit that the book that affected me most profoundly when I read it was Lord of the Rings.
