Try jodi picoult ive just got in to her myself brilliant especially my sisters keeper.

the Da Vinci Code, without a doubt its, the best I have ever read.

[WeeAngie]

It's got to be To Kill A Mockingbird

The best book ever

Also one flew over the cukoo's nest and The Godfather I don't think it's coincidence that these two were huge hits on screen xx

not wanting to wee wee on anyone's chips, and I know books are very subjective, but I thought the Da Vinci Code was complete and utter mince. It' s not even a well written book.

marwel - I forgot about A kind of loving.Stan Barstow was my fave author years ago.I loved that book and will now re-read it.Ta!

Was going to say The Moons a Balloon and Bring on the empty horses - David Niven.Have read them so often and still find them so funny and entertaining.Classics IMO

I agree with Gavski. Bill Brysons 'A Walk in the Woods' is definately his best work to date. It follows his mammoth task of walking the Appalachian Trail, a 2200 mile long footpath running up the East coast of US and is peppered with funny anecdotes and amazing facts. Real Laugh out Loud stuff.

Oh yeah and Bill Brysons "Notes from a big country" I swear people were edging away from me on the bus because I kept burting out into very loud laughter when reading it

Ark Baby by Liz Jensen

The green mile Stephen King, the only book that the film was virtually the same.

I don't know about the best but my favourite is 2The Beastly Beatitudes of Balthazar B,by JP Donleavy.Takes a while to get into his way of writing but worth it.

One of my favourites is Diary of a Nobody by George (and Weedon, I think) Grossmith. ONe of the funniest books I have ever read - I still lasugh whever I remember the scene where he re-enamels his bath. It's also worht listening to it on audiobook - the version I have is read by Arthur Lowe (Captain Mainwaring in Dad's Army). He has just the right mix of arrogance and bewiderment for the part.

And To Kill a Mockingbird is also good. As is Cranford by Mrs Gaskill (I think that's the right author).

Catcher in the Rye - read it at school and many years on i still like it. If i'm not in the mood to concentrate then anything by jackie collins (trashy i know but sometimes only trashy will do!)

James Frey - "A Million Little Pieces"

Awesome book, changed my life.

[MissBoots]

My new favourite book is The Timetraveller's Wife by Audrey Niffennegger. It's apparently one from Richard and Judy's list - but non the worse for that! It's really good - I just didn't want it to end.

I've just finished reading 'Salems Falls' by Jodi Picoult. It was one of the most wonderful books I've ever read. It kept me guessing right to the last page, which, when I read it, turned the whole book completely on its head. I thought I'd been reading a book about a young girl being raped, an innocent man being wrongly accused of the crime, and the ensuing court case, but, in the end, it was about something else entirely. Read it and you'll see what I mean!
