Whats the best book you ever read?

hm...this made me think!

Nah, can't decide. (I've read too many!)

Besides the classic books I'm gonna pick the Modern book thats the best during the time. Battle Royale

Battle Royale takes place in an alternate timeline - Japan is a police state, known as the Republic of Greater East Asia (大東亜共和国 Dai Tōa Kyōwakoku). The story follows a class of students who are chosen for the "Program" - aka Battle Royale, in which they must fight each other to the death.

Okishima Island map seen throughout the film (the special edition film DVD case also contains a small card size map); the lists in Japanese are the students' names.

Under the guise of a 'study trip', a group of students from Shiroiwa Junior High School (城岩中学校 Shiroiwa Chūgakkō), a Junior High School in the fictional town of Shiroiwa (Kagawa Prefecture) are gassed on a bus. They awaken in a school on an isolated, evacuated island (southwest of Shodoshima, also Kagawa Prefecture), wearing metal collars around their necks. After being briefed about the Program, the students are issued survival packs (along with a random weapon or tool) and sent out one by one. While some of the students receive guns and knives, many students acquire useless items like boomerangs, common dartboard darts, and forks. In some cases, instead of a weapon, the student receives a tool; Hiroki Sugimura receives a radar that tracks nearby students, and Toshinori Oda receives a bulletproof vest.

In the end, four students remain: Shuya Nanahara, Noriko Nakagawa, Shogo Kawada, and antagonist Kazuo Kiriyama. There is a car chase and shoot-out between the three main characters and Kazuo. Kazuo is killed after the chase ends. Shogo then takes his two partners to a hill where there are a lot of trees. After telling Shuya and Noriko that he will kill them, Shogo shoots in the air twice, faking their deaths for the microphones planted on the collars. He then dismantles the collars. When Shogo is on the winner's ship, Shuya and Noriko board it and kill the soldiers on board. Shogo tells Shuya how to escape, succumbs to his wounds and dies. The two remaining students go to the mainland, where they become fugitives.

Numerous changes were made to story details in the film adaptation.

I can't give you one answer to this so I will tell you the ones I have read many times with great pleasure.

The Stand by Stephen King - read nearly every year since it came out about 30 years ago.

Jane Eyre by Charlotte Bronte

Lady Chatterleys Lover by D H Lawrence

There are many more that I loved as a child and as an adult.

A book called Roll Of Thunder Hear My Cry, by Mildred D. Taylor. This book is disturbing yet at the same time for enlightening.

I love Meg Cabot (Heather Wells & Queen of Babble) and Sophie Kinsella's (Shopaholic [soon to be movie] & Remember Me) books. I am in the process of reading Emily Giffin's (Something Borrowed & Something Blue) books. They are all great authors!

For I teen I recommend Meg Cabot's young adult books. She is the best author. Also best selling. She wrote tons of books including the Princess Diaries (Movies based on her books), Mediator (upcoming movie), 1-800-Missing (TV show based on her books), Jinx, and more. She has adult books too, so you can grow with her.

If you want more info or meg cabot's website email me.
