"The Count of Monte Cristo" by Alexander Dumas. The movie didn't do the novel justice. The book is packed with intriguing characters, from sympathetic to diabolical. The details are so lush and vivid. The action sequences keep you in a suspended state of adrenalin. Really, a fantastic read!
The book was originally written in French. It's critical to get a really good translation of it. The one I have was published by Oxford World Classics, edited by David Coward.

Not to offend anyone, but the Bible is the biggest selling book ever. Personnally, I put Gone with the Wind by Margaret Mitchell at the top of novels. Stories would be Edgar Allen Poe. You can't pick just one if you love books.

Staring interior the solar I breathe shallow sighs The the fire grows bigger Smoke blows in my eyes The rockets depart trails against the easy blue skies i will see the place they land Bringing tears to my eyes Rage overcomes concern As I hear the newborn's cries i will already see the bodies Blood lined with the aid of flies I crawl contained in direction of the sand On my abdomen and thighs promptly i circulate A plan I devise I unharness my bullets 2 hundred I surmise in direction of the enemy region in direction of those I despise After the engagement I attend my allies protecting wounds allotting components only one thing I wrote some years in the past. The words do no longer supply justice to the severe suggestions. Many think of we could desire to continuously depart Iraq. that's no longer for me to declare. yet i understand in my coronary heart that there are a number of harmless adult men, women human beings and young ones in Iraq immediately that are nonetheless happy we've been and nonetheless are there.
