Re: What is the best book in the world?
Do you have an answer ?
“Her blood is settled, and her joints are stiff;
Life and these lips have long been separated:
Death lies on her like an untimely frost
Upon the sweetest flower of all the field.”

My answer would be Into the Woods by Helen Hoover It's an amazingly beautiful book that I can read over and over or in little pieces. It's gorgeous.

Definitely the Bible, particularly the New Testament, Psalms and Proverbs.

The best Book I have ever read in my opinion is " The Seven Killers " by John Charles... One of my most favorite additions!

Re: What is the best book in the world?
If i could only give an answer....the best book ever was one i read in middle school....so around 1973 or 4......it was about these people on a staircase that seemed to never end and they found these pellet like things for food.....if anyone can give me the author or title i would be forever grateful!!!!......i have wondered about that book for years now wishing i could find out what it was called......loved it and it is what turned me on to science fiction......
this is my first post ever in a forum and i am looking forward to visiting this site often.....

Re: What is the best book in the world?
I've just read a book called 'Sophie's World' by Jostein Gaarder, a Norwegian writer.
It is a book about philosophy and begins with Socrates and travels through history explaining and describing the Zeitgiest.....right up to the 20th Century. I now know why Samuel Beckett wrote his absurd plays.......and I'm not angry with him any more.....I just had the wrong reaction to his work.....ironic really.
Jostein Gaarder has managed to condense 3,000 years of thought into 400 pages; to simplify some extremely complicated arguments without trivialising them......extraordinary.'Looking in her mailbox one day, a fourteen year old Norwegian schoolgirl called Sophie Amundsen finds two surprising pieces of paper. On them are written the questions: 'Who are you?' and 'Where does the world come from?'

i'm off to hunt that book down now, thanks for the heads up Penelope
PS: ooh favourite book, that is a toughy. perhaps i can cheat and say "the book of life" it's still being written and i've got no idea how it ends even though i've been reading it for years.

Do you mean "What is your favorite book in the world?"
If not, what are the criteria? The question as is, is pretty much meaningless.
