"King Lear" by Shakespeare

"Pride and Prejudice" by Jane Austen

"Huckleberry Finn" by Mark Twain

"A Tale of Two Cities" by Charles Dickens

"Lord of the Rings" by Tolkien

"Watership Down" by Richard Adams

and...

"The Iliad" by Homer
 
"1 million 1 recipes for Badger" Gondor Knight of Narnia
"So You Tried All the Badger Recipes and Are Still Hungry Huh?" Gondor Knight of Narnia

Can the list include books I wrote personally?

For that matter, can the list be restricted to books I wrote personally? :D
 
I'd be here forever :p but...

The Inheritance Cycle by Christopher Paloini
Lord of the Rings Trilogy by J.R.R Tolkien
Pride and Prejudice by Jane Austen
Last Dragon Chronicles by Chris D'Lacey
Alex Rider Series by Anthony Horowitz
Cyrano De Bergerac (SP)- Edmund Rostand

ETC :p
 
All the Redwall books by Brian Jacques
The Prydain Chornicles by Lloyd Alexander
LOTR by Tolkien
Midnight Rider and Jacobs Song by Joan Hiatt Harlow
Any other books by Brian Jacques!!
 
I WOULD LIKE TO REMEMBER SOME NOW DECEASED/ENDANGERED CLASSICS:

The Telephone Book, though I tend nowdays to search on computer. For those of us old enough, the telephone was the closest thing we had to the internet, and a phone number the closest thing we had to an email address.

The long-deceased Sears Catalog, forerunner of ordering things off the web. I particularly miss the big Christmas WishBook and its promise of all sorts of great gadgets like film-based cameras and home movie cameras. Woot, I have Super-8 with sound!

Books

I'd have to say the inheritance series.. aka Eragon, Eldest and Brisingr :) just finished reading them for like the seventh time and can't wait for the last one to come out
I also like the Terry Pratchett 'Wee Free Men' books and a new book called 'Beautiful Creatures' which was pretty good :)
and I've taken to reading autobiographies lately, so if anyone has one they'd like to advise, i'm open to suggestions. I've already read-
Anne Frank's Diary
Adrain Mole
The pillow book of Cordelia Kenn
Anthony keidis'

:)
 
Lord of the Rings (obviously, its a masterwork!) :D

The Edgwick Lamplighter series (amazing but not well known lotr spinoff thing that i find amazing (im prolly the only one who has ever checked them out at my library))

Princess Bride (hahahahaha amazing)

Huck Finn

C.S Lewis's space trilogy

... thats all i can think of at the moment but there are plenty more
 
Since the thread title is "Best Books" I have a new one to include, maybe Spanish Inquisition can reply being a Dostoyevsky fan, but I just finished Crime and Punishment and I have to say it's positively one of the most powerful works of literature I've ever read, perhaps ever written, not only on a level of understanding humanity but on a deeply spiritual level as well. I don't think I'll ever read the 11th chapter of John, the story of the raising of Lazarus from the dead, the same ever again. It's the fourth Dostoyevsky work I've read and by far the best, but it helped a lot to have read his The House of the Dead first. I next want to read Notes From Underground followed by The Idiot. You have any other suggestions Spanish Inq?

Maybe I should just start a Dostoyevsky thread.

Recipe books are also becoming dispensable with the ease of looking up recipes on the computer...
