What’s the best novel/book you’ve ever read?

For me it’s probably East of Eden

The Lord of the Rings

Hard to say it’s definitely the best I’ve read, but I’ve always thought A Clockwork Orange was really brilliant.

It's tough for me to narrow things down to one book, but if I was going with just one I'd probably choose Catch 22.
To kill a mockingbird, A Storm of swords would a couple close behind or on the same level.

Cardinal of the Kremlin has to be up there.
Although I would recommend reading Patriot Games and Hunt For Red October first - just so you read the series in order and avoid spoilers.

I don’t read a ton of of fiction, but a couple that come to mid are Pillars of the Earth, and Count of Monte Cristo
3rd is probably more nostalgia, but Jurassic Park. Went on a road trip back when I was a kid and we had driven across 2 states before I looked up from the pages.

Damn, that’s a hard one. I have to think about it.

Its hard to say honestly especially without defining what we mean by "best"
For this, I'll say "Brave New World" - Aldous Huxley. He just seemed to be so correct about many things in terms of how people interact with each other on large scales.
In terms of the most "enjoyable" read that is a page turner and excites you that way - it is really hard to say a favorite single book. As a full series - it would be Malazan Book of the Fallen - an epic fantasy series that has real depth.

For fiction, Anna Karenina and Moby Dick.
In the nonfiction realm, Battle Cry of Freedom and Myth of Sisyphus.

I echo East of Eden. What a phenomenal piece of literature. Next is probably Midnights Children.
