According to my preference I rate these novels with high priority.

1. Not a penny more Not a penny less - Jeffrey Archer
2. Doomsday Conspiracy - Sidney Sheldon
3. The Godfather - Mario Puzo
4. The Last Don - Mario Puzo
5. Windmills of the Gods - Sidney Sheldon
6. Lajja - Taslima Nazrin
7. Pride and Prejudice - Jane Austen
8. War and Peace - Leo Tolstoy
9. David Copperfield - Charles Dickens
10. The God of Small Things - Arundati Roy

I would suggest these 10 though not in order, its difficult to choose top 10 books, but with limited book knowledge of mine these are the 10 books I enjoyed the most.

Overload by Arthur Hailey, if tomorrow comes by Sydney sheldon, gone with the wind, Kane and Abel, Godfather, Desmond Bagley's Snow Tiger, The Odessa File, The Devil's alternative, The Day of the Jackal by Frederik Forsythe, The Lonely lady by Harold robbins, well if I have a little more patience, I can come up (easily) with 100 novels which are good, if not the best. Like that every body can come up with their own list.

Well! that's a tough question... and an easy one at the same time..According to me, it depends on an individual's taste and literary sensibilities which books he/ she likes or finds the best... and also on the culture we are born and brought up in, because we read our own country/ region specific literature also. For me, best books ever written are:

Wuthering Heights by Emily Brontë
Jane Eyre by Charlotte Brontë
Sons and Lovers by D.H. Lawrence
The Stranger by Albert Camus
Waiting for Godot by Samuel Beckett
Things Fall Apart by Chinua Achebe
My Place by Sally Morgan
The Heart is a Lonely Hunter by Carson McCullers
One Hundred Years of Solitude by Gabriel Garcia Marquez
Parineeta by Sarat Chandra Chaterjee
Surfacing by Margeret Atwood
The Inscrutable Americans by Anurag Mathur
Five Point Someone by Chetan Bhagat
About Daddy by Meena Arora Naik
Paradise Lost by John Milton
The School for Scandal by R.B. Sheridan
Macbeth By Shakespeare
All My Sons by Arthur Miller

I am sure there are many more, which I must have forgotten, or worse, not even read or heard of... Hope that helps...Happy Reading

Here's a link to the Modern Library Association's top 100 as picked by them, as well as a list of the top 100 picked by the public through a poll (though it's highly suspected that a few groups stuffed the ballot box on the public's picks--the MLA's choices, however, are excellent).
