Just one, huh? Well, my FAVORITE book of all time is Gulliver's Travels, but the book(s) that have had the most impact on me were The Fountainhead and The Mists of Avalon.

Okay, so it's not ONE... Sorry, i did my best. cwm12.gif

i must agree...the Russian classics r amazing...i couldnt put Master and Margarita down (but make sure to get a good translation)...however, rite now my most favorite book would have to be Lolita by Nabokov...i recommend it to everyone

it's a play, i'm not really a fan of novels; i'd say that sartre's "no exit" is my favorite. i haven't read it in about six years and i'll admit that i don't really remember it all that well, but i know i haven't read any better fiction since. thanks for this post; i think i'll pick it up again.

Lolita is great, but is a bit more commercialised version of Nabokov's style. Try some of his earlier works like "Despair", "Invitation to a Beheading", or "The Luzhin Defense." Or even the later "Pale Fire", which will have you in tears every page it's so funny. I would rate any of these 4 the best book ever, a tie. I think Nabokov was the closest thing to immortality the last century witnessed. I also really like Dostoevsky, Balzac, Zola, and Bulgakov.

That's so cool. A friend of mine just lent me that book yesterday, but b/f that I never heard of it. He says it's great too. Anyway, BEST book I ever read I would have to say is the original version of :

THE GODFATHER... so good it toasts the movie!

PS. Who cares if this subject isn't about clubbing. This site is ClubPLANET.com not JustClubbing.com. A planet has many environments and terrains. How bland would our world be if it was just a flat plain covered with wheat fields? Who says that this is just about clubs, dancing and music? cwm1.gif

Hey!!!!!

That's the book I was going to say. Orson Scott Card is a great author. The whole Ender's series is really fuckin' good. I am just about to read Ender's shadow which is based on one of the secondary characters in Ender's Game. I just gotta finish my Ann Rice book first.

I can't say that I have any one sigle favortie...

Damn, people listed so many books that I like. It is really difficult to narrow it down to one book. I could put down a HUGE list of books...
