The greatest BOOK you ever read?

RE: The greatest BOOK you ever read?
Ender's Game by Orson Scott Card last year. I think because I had never heard of him before and was so surprised at the quality of the story. Just read Speaker for the Dead which was his original plan for his first book but he wrote Ender's Gamd first. It was equally good.

The greatest book you ever read and would advice to read!
Thank you.
Impossible. I couldn't even narrow it down to a top 10 I'm afraid. And as for giving advice, I think it would be helpful to know what is of interest to you first.
But to try and answer the impossible question though, and if I had to pick just one book then I will go with this one simply on the basis its probably the only book I've read three times. Whether that makes it the greatest book I've read I don't know, but it certainly proves it was an interesting read! [:)]

Massachusetts rules of the road handbook. Saved me a bundle fighting moving violation fines. Found that many police and court officers did not know how to interpret motor vehicle rules of the road vs state statutes. Best book I ever read...!![:)]

The Lord of the Rings and Watership Down.
Among the many, many fine books of military history, I have a personal weak spot for "Pursuit" by Ludovic Kennedy.

I was Navy, but Assigned TAD to the 24th MAU Hq in Beirut. By far the finest period of my service!
