The "BEST"? Shadow of the Wind, by Carlos Ruiz Zafon. A very close second would be Into The Wild, by Jonathon Krakauer. Third and fourth after that are the first two books in the Maisie Dobbs series by Jacqueline Winspear; Maisie Dobbs and Birds of a Feather (the second one is the better of the two, but the first one should be read first to give you an idea of what's going on).

Landscape of Lies by Peter Watson
Great mystery book, a great story about an old painting that is actually a map that leads to historical treasure. Full of mystery and suspense. If you want to read it find a copy with the jacket. The jacket is the painting that the main characters are following.

Hrm. I recently discovered the excellent work of WEB Griffin. A couple books through Men of War series and almost done with The Corps.
Read a few different versions of Merlin/King Arthur legends, and reread (again) Diana Gabaldons 'Outlander' series.
Oh, cant forget the Star Trek novels.

There were so many. What subject are you interested in? My favorite book, which I read every year at this time, is A Christmas Carol by Charles Dickens. Of course there is the Bible, which I haven't been reading as religiously(pardon the pun)as I used to. I have also been reading vol. two of Winston Churchill's History of the English Speaking People(immigrants should read it) and also working on Malachy McCourt's Singing My Hymn Song. As I said, there were so many.

I assume everyone on here who cites the Da Vinci Code is being sarcastic. Stephen Fry said that book was "**** gravy" and I agree with him. I have to say "The Master and Margarita" by Bulgakov; surreal Russian fare that's really funny, disconcerting and has a talking cat!

I am going to read The Audacity of Hope by Barak Obama next to see what all the hoopla is about.

I read a lot of Japanese literature for a class I was taking and really enjoyed that, Kokoro being on the top of that list. I am also reading The Fountainhead right now and really enjoying that.
