The Greatest Book Ever Written (3 Viewers)

[MoonlightSonata]

Heart of Darkness, Joseph Conrad

Catch 22 by Joseph Heller. Easily the funniest book I've ever read (funnier than Douglas Adams, even), but really moving as well.

 

[Korn]

"The Puppy who lost his way"

 

[Meldrum]

It's easily Murder In The Cathedral - a play - by T.S Elliot.

 

[lalaurenisme]

'White Teeth' by Zadie Smith is my favourite book.
Go to my blog (link's in my signature) for my review/gushings of that book.

Finished War and Peace at last!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Oh and it's worth the hype , much better than Anna Karenina.

 

[INXS]

Grug is the bomb!

 

[walrusbear]

dan brown is probably the greatest writer to grace this planet

 

[Benny_]

Am I the only one in the world who thinks Dan Brown is utter trash?

 

[[N]otorious]

George Orwell - 1984
Aldous Huxley - Brave New World

 

[Crazy Horse]

Am I the only one in the world who thinks Dan Brown is utter trash?

Definitely not - I agree with you 100%. I can’t believe people think his an excellent writer!

 

[walrusbear]

i thought everyone knew dan brown sucked until came to this forum

then i see a giant thread started for every piece of shit he writes
same with matthew reilly

i hate when trash like that is overvalued
i know someone's going to reply saying that they're good for airport novels, but do airport novels really deserve this kind of discussion?

everyone should go buy themselves some murakami instead

my favourite book is probably 1984, and though it's quite significant - it's kinda preposterous to call it 'the greatest book ever written'
it's more a book of great ideas and brilliantly written

They should make audio tapes of every book written, im not much a fan of reading, cause its alot of work, ild prefer audio tapes

Well, I'm going to have to say Harper Lee - To Kill A Mockingbird, in a moment of inspired dullness.

Also quite like Ken Kesey's One Flew Over The Cuckoo's Nest.

Both were fantastic movies, too, and the only two books to have left me crying.

 

[cappen]

and also i love playboy, the articles in that are so indepth, hughey heffner is brilliant to compile such useful things

lol omg me too, i loved to kill a mockingbird...it was such a good read.

Apparently Harper Lee was pretty young, 15 odd, when she wrote To Kill A Mockingbird.

The movie was so well made, they haven't bothered to make a newer version.

The movie was so well made, they haven't bothered to make a newer version.

The original 12 Angry Men, Psycho and The Manchurian Candidate are all perfectly made movies. Didn't stop them doing a lesser remake.

OMG I so have that book, lol
