I read Kevin and Sadie in school it was good but the best book I have ever read has to be Under Milk Wood by Dylan Thomas. It is set in a small Welsh village and follows the inhabitants for a day. The whole plot is that nothing happens but it is so surreal and funny it is really good. The only book i liked that nothing happens it. I think it was a radio play first though.

There are so many books I hesitate to name just one but I can (and do) read the books below over and over again, so that's probably a good sign!!
Anything by Terry Pratchett
Lord of the Rings trilogy, J.R.R.Tolkein + The Hobbit
Day of the Triffids -John Wyndham
Most books by Dean Koontz
Anything by Stephen King
1984- George Orwell
Lord of the Flies - William Golding
That's a good enough list for now!

JD Robb - In Death Series
James Patterson - Women's Murder Club Series
Elizabeth Peters - Amelia Peabody Series
Sue Grafton - Kinsey Millhone Series
Patricia Cornwell - Kay Scarpetta Series
I love series books, because you get more character development than in just one book.
I would try any series that had more than one book with the same characters.

Too hard a question for me to answer. I have read over, well over 565,000 books in my life and am working on another 5,000. So, I have to say in all reality I cannot recall what I would consider the best book. Although, non-fiction--The Way Things Work would probably come close. It is a book that can teach you how to make things if the world ever goes down the toilet.

That is a very hard question, because every time i read a good book I think "Ohhhhh that's my favourite book", until the next one comes along!!!! So at different times I have had differnt best books. The most recent one I read (and my current favourite) is Hope by Leslie Pearse.
