What is the best book you have ever read?

Well, you already have it but I will back up your Twilight thought. They are very good. All four of them.

I don't really know what else to give you because I read A LOT but, more than 85% of the books I read aren't popular just because normally they are better.

Some are pretty familiar to most readers so here are a couple you might want to check into:

**Inkheart/Inkspell (Bestsellers but none of my friends read them. haha (Inkheart in movies January 9th by the way) um I think there is a third book out im pretty sure I saw it in the book store the other day but im not positive.

Author: Cornelia Funke

**The Hero and the Crown/The Blue Sword/The Door in the Hedge

(A trilogy series by Robin McKinley)

**Harry Potter was always a big thing

**um.... Tolkien books went big.... like The Hobbit was excellent in my opinion.

**Stephen King :)

**Little Women by Louisa May Alcott was one of my all time favorites

**Eragon... and the second one I can't remember.. but they were good...

Hmm... can't really think of any more at the moment. But those were some of my personal favorites and a few of my friends as well.

Oh and if this matters I am 13.

What a great question! Now that you have me thinking, I am finding it difficult to name the 'best'. One reason is that I read all the time. Even if I was not a teacher, I'd still enjoy reading. But here goes:

GFanon, by John Edgar Wideman

A Mercy, by Toni Morrison

Condoleezza Rice. An American Life: A Biography, by Elisabeth Bumiller

Delta Blues: The Life and Times of the Mississippi Masters Who Revolutionized American Music, by Ted Gioia

The Hemingses of Monticello: An American Family, by Annette Gordon-Reed

The House at Sugar Beach: In Search of a Lost African Childhood, by Helene Cooper

The Race Card: How Bluffing About Bias Makes Race Relations Worse, by Richard Thompson Ford

And I could never forget THE BIBLE. This is one I read daily.

I am currently reading anything and everything by President-elect Barack Obama

I love the Anne Rice Vampire chronicles, very good writing, her witch books are great too. So that's Fantasy/Fiction.

Historical/Fiction: Famous Last Words by Timothy Findley, about a writer that's in World War II and he used to circle with the famous and rich crowd, including spanish royalty, and he ends up in an empty hotel hiding from the Nazis and he writes his life story in the walls of 4 rooms in the Hotel, it's amazing.

Drama/Fiction: The Kite Runner by Khaled Hosseini, heart wrenching but amazing, powerful.

Drama/Fiction: The Memory Keeper's Daughter by Kim Edwards, a father gives up his down syndrome kid without telling his wife, which he could do easily because he performed the birth and just told her it was born dead, that's just the beginning.

And well, there's the Tolkien books, great too.

House on Mango Street by Sandra Cisneros would be a really good one.

The best book I have ever read would be the Kite Runner by Khaled Hosseini. It's not a teen book per say, but anyone who reads it will love it!

Also, the Harry Potter series is very popular amongst teens.

Great Expectations by Charles Dickens is a really good one.

The Diary of Anne Frank is very popular for historical novels.

The Watchers by Dean Coontz,The Winner,The Earth Peoples 4 books by Jean Aural.I am an avid reader but some stories just stay with you,those were some of my all time reads

I am a very strong reader and my favorite books are:

all of the Twilight books are REALLY good

Harry Potter is pretty good

and Walk Two Moons by Sharon Creech

fairly, as pathetic because it sounds, the e book that i can bear in mind making me saddest replaced into the place the pink Fern Grows. Now, understand that i replaced into approximately 10 years previous on the time that I examine it, and that i've got consistently enjoyed animals. yet I bear in mind feeling extremely unhappy as I examine the ending of that e book... appropriate needs!

Harry Potter.

NOT Twilight. It just supports unhealthy and abusive relationships.

And yes it is cool to see Shakespeare preformed but it's also cool to read.
