To Kill a Mockingbird. Fantastic writing, characters, everything. A book you can read over and over again. Well recommended.

I have to agree that To Kill a Mockingbird is wonderful book. Read it, no matter what the assignment--you'll be happy you did. Another book I absolutely loved was Wuthering Heights. That book taught me that beauty, love, hatred, and tragedy are all interchangeable, if not synonymous. Read either/both of those books and you'll be a better person for it.

The Book of Mormon : It witnessed the Divinity of the Savior Jesus Christ
thru other people and helped me understand many tie-ins between the Old
Testamant and the New Testamant. It also challenged me in a plain and
simple manner to repent and work on my own salvation and keep the commandments. I had not been raised religiously, nor had I been as faithful
as others.

I have read many books.
I like Harry potter books but I don't like the 4th, 5th, and 6th books' ending.
My favourite characters are DEAD!
Anyway, I like the classic book entitled The Secret Garden.
I just read it recently. I think it is the most wonderful book that I have read

Since no one has mentioned "The Cairo Trilogy" by Naguib Mahfouz, I'd like to recommend this great Egyptian novel to you. In fact, Mahfouz received his 1988 Nobel Prize for literature and the Committee cited his literary prestige and contribution from this masterpiece. As for me, I've never heard his name or read his novels but I decided to buy a hardcover and enjoyed reading it, it's a must for anyone interested in gaining better understanding of Muslim culture and traditions via wonderful characterization and episodes. It's initially published in Arabic but we can read the English translated version executed professionally by a four-member team of scholars. It is definitely the most wonderful book I've read.

The most wonderful book for me must be one of those I read in my childhood. I can't remember the title, but I still remember the feeling when I was reading it.

A Prayer for Owen Meany by John Irving. They made a movie from the novel titled Simon Birch that was not true to the book at all so don't judge it by that.

Beauty by Sheri Tepper is amazing. it is very thought provoking while maintaining a fantasy base. it covers so many things, religion, magic, sex, medieval times, future, sci-fi, disease, love, and fairy tales, all in one book. it makes you stop and think about some of your most basic beliefs, without challenging them.
another one i really like is Mere Christianity by C.S. Lewis. you have to read it to understand. I recommend it to christians and athiests alike, as it will make you think about both sides, and one of the most intelligently written books on christianity i have ever encountered.

The pilars of the earth - Ken Folet
The Kite Runner - Khaled Houseini
Aztec - Gary Jennings

I have read many books in my time so far and intend to read many more,but to answer your question.The best book I have ever read was "Where The Red Fern Grows"by Wilson Rawles.
The Bible to me is the one book you never stop reading.
