I decided to read something by Pearl S. Buck this spring. The first of her books I found was "Pavilion of Women". It is a really good book. I now have "The Good Earth" which I think is going to be even better. These are the best I've read this year, so far.

There are so many good books out there! I agree with Jason S that The Coldest Winter Ever was a great book, and so was the Da Vinci Code and...well it depends on what KIND of books you like to read.

Depends on what you mean by best, the most entertaining one was Bloodleters and Badmen by J. Robert Nash, spookiest was The Shining, thought provoking was The Green Mile, historical was a biography about Alexander the Great

Olive's Ocean, by far. I read it a year or two ago and I can't wait to get back around to it again. It's about this girl who had a girl named Olive in her class who died.Olive's mother later gives the main charachter an entry from Olive's diary that describedhow olive wanted to be her fiend and see the ocean. The girl finds herself constantly thinking about Olive over summer vaka. When you finish, it gives you a numb thoughtful feeling that will stay with for the longest time.

Ben-Hur by Lew Wallace is one of my favorites. It's much different from the movie, almost like two different stories, and yet are both classics.
It's divided into Books, and Book 1 is difficult to get through, but it is worth the effort. I can't image many trying to tackle it now a days.

Count of Montecristo by Alexander Dumas.Its about a young French sailor who was unjustly imprisoned for 14 years before he escapes and ultimately takes revenge on his enemies.The author did a great job describing the emotions of the prisoner.Disbelief,denial,self pity,madness,apathy and finally hope.
