Actually it depends in what genre you like. What i suggested here is Desperation from Stephen King (thriller). And The Partners from John Grisham about lawyers.

Titus Groan by Mervyn Peake and The Iron Dragons Daughter by Michael Swanwick. Both are dark fantasy with a hint of Dickensian in their style.

Surely I suggest to you to read "The Pillars of the earth" of Ken Follett. This book is quite long, in fact it has over than 1000 pages, but, I can assure, this book is all-involving and soon you don't want it has an end.

I'd recommend Haruki Murakami's Norweigan Wood which is one of my favorite books of all time because it's so wonderfully written really moved me. Another book I highly recommend is Mark Haddon's The Curious Incident of the Dog in The Night-Time which was one of the most interesting and engaging books I've ever read. Plus, my whole family and everyone else I've recommended it to has really enjoyed it as well, so I know that it will appeal to a lot of readers from varying backgrounds or interests.

I read the Holy Bible. I recommend these 2 translations from Greek: GENESIS, EXODUS, LEVITICUS (Greek-English) and THE WILL New Testament (Greek to English) which are found at http://www.lulu.com/arseniajoaquin I hope that you will include these and the other books in that site in your reading.

I would definitely recommend Atonement by Ian McEwan. It's my favorite book and it's also one of the best books I've read. Another worthy recommendation is Kazuo Ishiguro's Never Let Me Go. Lovely, poetic and melancholic--it gets hold of you and never lets go.

It's a little difficult to just narrow it down to two books. But if I had to it would be Dune by Frank Herbert and The Left Hand of Darkness by Ursula K. LeGuin. Both books are science-fiction and classics of the jandra. And both books really have a way of opening your mind to things you never thought possible.

The best book would depend on the genre you are interested in reading. I mean you can not say what is best when recommending a book to some one else with out knowing their interests since what is best for you is not best for someone else. But there is a book by Mitch Albom, called the Five People you Meet in Heaven. It is a great book not necessarily the best but definitely one I would recommend to anyone, it is an eye opener for showing us that we sometiems limit our own lives because of our view points, that we need to look at things differently what may seem wrong or off, can in fact be wonderfully right. Well worth reading for anyone.

I would say "How to make an American Quilt", I don't know who the author is but they made a movie about it years ago. I just really liked it because it made you think zabout your relationships with people, and what you would accept in people.

Of course a lot would depend on the preference of the person to whom I am suggesting. But, if I have to suggest two books blindly, I would go for Lord of the Rings and Foundation series. Of course, both these books are series one a Fantasy Fiction and the other a Science Fiction, but both these are acknowledged as the greatest fictions in their respective categories and thus they make the grade for me. Cheers! Ram

I strongly reccommend a book by John Green, called "looking for alaska" It's sort of a teen read, but its not heavy in cliche romance or anything. It's a good drama/comedy and i found it impossible to put down!
