I know we have a thread about what you’re currently reading and I often run to it when deciding on what to read next- but this time my reading nerves are famished!! They need to be quenched; I need something that’ll blow me away.
So please tell me what you’re all time favorite book was; why and a short short SHORT preview.
Thanks

illusions- the adventures of a reluctant messiah.- Richard Bach
It has left a lasting impression on me and probably the book with the most influence on me
The Prince- Nicolo Machiavelli
for my dark side :)

Re: The Best Book You Ever Read
Three Cups of Tea
It left me with a great impression of what we can do regardless of race or religion. It inspires us to actually do something.

Maps of Lost Lovers by Nadeem Aslam
Not a romantic love story, more tragic realities of family/community life. I love the fact that it took the author 11 years to write it. Its very poetic and I didnt feel forced to 'relate' to it as a lot of desi authors try to do (White Teeth).
Another one, just for laughs is White Tiger.
SO amazingly funny. I had to reread some parts as they were just too funny not to.
oh and The Gruffalo...why not eh.

Nopes! I've read it about 3 times now. Over the space of 4 years.
You like anorexic vampires...what more can I say :p
Re: The Best Book You Ever Read
Maps for Lost Lovers - was depressing, I had to put it down so many times and then come back to it.
Re: The Best Book You Ever Read
Well I liked it! Jesus people! Some people (like ME) like those types of books. They're like poetry, you either get them, or they are just an empty vase.
:D
Re: The Best Book You Ever Read
Oh man -- yuppers I'm all about the vampires.
Maps to lost lovers made me gag-- you're a stronger woman then I am Mills.
