It can be anything even from when you were a kid.

The Knight In Rusty Armor by Robert Fisher
It inspires to find who you truly are. It shows you what life is about.

That's really hard! I've read sooooo many good books and a bunch of great ones. To pick just one would be a real task! Here are a few from all different points in my life.
>Brian's Winter-Gary Paulson
I like the whole kickin' it out doors thing and this book captures that. It's kind of short, but I read it when I was young soat the time it was a big book. Paulson is a a good writer and his other works are pretty good too.
>30 Seconds Over Tokyo-?
True story. Good Story.
>Freedom Landing (and the rest of the series is good too)-?
A little out there, but if you like sci-fi this a good one.
>Chickenhawk-?
Vietnam, helicopters! Best Vietnam book I've read yet (and I've read quite a few)!
>Ender's Game-Olson Scott Card
Another one that's a little wierd, but very very good!
>Harry Potter-Don't Remember
The whole series is good, but my guess is that you read it all ready. If not read the whole series!

I have read a lot of books but the Bible is by far the very best book I have ever read! It gives me practical advice and guides me to always make the best decisions.It also lets me know that those that have walked before me have made the same mistakes and run into the same problems that I have, and in this sense the Bible is timeless.

A Knight in Shining Armor by Jude Deveraux. Why? Because it kept me captivated all the way through. She's an excellent romance author (plot and story, not just sappy love and romance in her stories). I own most of her books now, and have only read two of hers i didn't like.
The Dog Who Wouldn't Be... by Farley Mowatt. I read it as a child and have never forgotten it. It's amusing and an easy story to relate to.
To Kill a Mockingbird (4x in my life), it's a great read every time!
I read continuously, hundreds of books in my lifetime, everything from true crime to the cereal box.... But those would be my top favourite books, ones that are worth remembering.

I don't know about best book ever, but I like Diary by Chuck Palanuik, and The Poison Wood Bible by Barbara Kingslover. The Poison Wood Bible is such a fantastic book. and you never expect anything that happens. I was shocked. I laughed, I cried. I fell in love with that book.
Diary is awesome cause Palanuik is awesome. He is a terrific writer. And that book speaks to me. It's about a legacy, disguised as a diary, a prophecey more like. Anyway, you can't help but love the horrible characters he creates. the plot is just-awesome.

Tangerine is a great book, but it is not what one would call an advanced book, but the story makes so many good points about life, and it actually helped me to understand how messed up some schools and students can be.
Also The Terrorists is a great book it again is not a book meant for very advanced cynical readers, but it has a great story, and explains the ways of life in other countries, and opens your eyes to things you have never thought of.

Geeze, I can't think of a "best book ever," but I have a massive headache right now. The last really good book I read was the "Other Woman" by Jane Green. It's not what you might think. Very interesting!

At this moment, Lord of Snow and Shadows by Sarah Ash. The first book in a while that kept me asking "What's gonna happen next?" And it's a fantasy without the center being an epic quest or dragon riding.

Lonesome Dove, and I'm not even a fan of westerns. It has action, romance, heartache, and you can almost feel the dust as you read. The characters are larger than life and stick with you long after you put the book down.

Childhood favs:
"Corduroy" - Because it tells of the little bear's adventures in the mall, just super cute
"Popcorn" - I think that's what it was called...just a great book about making popcorn and it overflowing all over the place...they had it at my dentist's office and it kept my mind off having to go into the dentist!
Grown-up favs:
"She's come undone" and "I know this much is true" - Both are by Wally Lamb and really make you think...I especially liked "I know..." because it's about twins and I'm a twin.

Insomnia by Stephen King. It is a thick book and I read it in three days and worked a full time job. I couldn't put it down. Matter of fact I think I'm going to read it again.
