Absolutely loved Angela's Ashes by Frank McCourt. It's the kind of book you put down to sob and choke.

Are you crazy? We're supposed to pick a best?? Just kidding...hm. Tough. I'd have to say the best one ever (or one of the best) would probably be The Secret LIfe of Bees, by Sue Monk Kidd...but if you're saying book (not story) I really love this book of Shakespeare's sonnets I've got...and Twilight and New Moon by Stephenie Meyer are both good...but so is this book called The Book of Honor (forget the title). Oh, and the Young Wizards series by Diane Duane is pretty sweet as well.
Truthfully, the best one is any book I can get lost in for a couple of hours and just forget the world.

If you're looking for great prose and books you might not have read before, you could try out Letters to Olga, by Vaclav Havel, The Man Who Loved Children by Christina Stead or Hunger by Knut Hamsen. Havel was also a playwright, political activist and finally president of Czechoslovakia. He wrote letters to Olga ( his wife) while in prison for his activism. Stead was an Australian author and Hamsen won the Nobel prize for literature in the early part of the twentieth century.

Chesapeake, By James Michner
The book kept me interested the entire way through and had a great story line while also giving me some history of the East Coast
