what is the best book youve been read?

Answer 1

Gone with the wind , davinci code

Answer 2

The Winter of our Discontent by John Steinbeck because it is one of his most underappreciated novels, followed closely by The Grapes of Wrath and East of Eden.

THE WINTER OF OUR DISCONTENT (1961), set in contemporary America, was Steinbeck's last major novel. It continued his exploration of the moral dilemmas involved in being fully human. The book was not well received, and critics considered him exhausted. Not even the Nobel Prize changed opinions. The New York Times asked in an editorial, whether the prize committee might not have made a better choice. Steinbeck took this public humiliation hard.

Answer 3

I read a book of an Arabic author , it was very interesting , talking about a men who spent all his youth in fool things , through his studies trip in England , he discovered that he was a sexual addicted , he's been judged many times ( he spent some years in the prison ) But the more important is the moral that the author used as an end of the book.

Answer 4

"A Confederacy of Dunces" by John Kennedy Toole. It was published in 1980 and won the Pulitzer Prize in literature in 1981. The story behind the book's publishing is interesting and I encourage anyone to read about it. The book is unique and nothing like anything that you have ever read before. It is HILARIOUS. I strongly urge everyone to read it.

Answer 5

"Who Moved My Cheese", Dr. Spencer Johnson

Moving on to the book itself - it’s about mice and little people. Wait a minute, you say, did u say mice? Yes...mice. But the mice aren’t really mice....they represent people - not specific people but types of people. Two little mice and two little people, named very appropriately Sniff, Scurry, Hem and Haw, between themselves represent the human race and their quest for "success". The cynic reading this will no doubt argue that you can’t possibly club all humans in just four groups. Relax, pal. Like I said...keep an open mind. Give the book a chance...ok? Coming back to our friendly neighbourhood mice, they spend their lives looking for cheese. Again, cheese is a representation of "success" - the reader should substitute "cheese" with his/her goal(s) in life. After all everyone has a different view of what constitutes "success". Right, so our mice and little people are looking for "cheese" which they think (the cynics know) will keep them happy. They live in a maze which represents the world WE humans live in. Each of them has a different method of finding his cheese and each finds his own "stash" of special cheese – their type of cheese. They settle into a rhythm - each morning they wake up and go to their cheese. And that’s how life is, isn’t it? We eventually either find nearly everything we look for in life or if we don’t, we compromise and we settle down happily (or unhappily). Basically, we take things for granted, don’t we? One fine day, our mice and little people set off for their cheese only to find that the cheese isn’t there any more. You guessed it....someone’s MOVED the cheese! The four don’t know who moved it or where its gone - it could be anywhere in the maze. How each of them reacts to this "unforeseen" situation, is what this book is about.

The beauty of this book is its simplicity. The use of mice and little people makes the book childlike and that’s what the author wants. Become a child when you read this book because only as a child will you have an open mind. The book attempts to pose (and answer) various questions. Which of the mice or little people are YOU similar to? Are you simple minded and uncomplicated like Sniff and Scurry? Or are you complex and complicated like Hem and Haw? How do YOU manage change? Are YOU ready for change? What would YOU do if YOUR cheese was moved? And the most important question is.....Are you ready for the day your cheese is moved? Because my friend, YOUR cheese WILL move. Will you panic and give up like Haw? Or will you analyze the situation and take control like Hem? Or will you just move onto new cheese like Sniff and Scurry?

As for the rest of you, after you’ve read the book and analysed it, do ask yourself this question whenever faced with a tough "real life" situation..."What would you do if you weren’t afraid"?

Answer 8

General Zoology
By Storer and Usinger

Answer 9

Moon Tiger, by Penelope Lively. My mother read it to me while I was in the hospital, and it was really quite fascinating. A cynical, dying, British woman named Claudia recounts her fascinating life from within a hospital and subsequently bares secrets to the reader which were never meant to leave her deathbed (incest, lost love, etc.). It was fantastic, dark, and very witty.

Answer 10

Angels & Demons by Dan Brown
