First read "Atlas Shrugged" by Ayn Rand and lived with her ideology for yrs, then read "Bible". There was a great conflict, greated than I cud grasp. I had gone thru a complete dark period where both did not make sense. Ayn Rand said take your cheek away if they do not deserve it, let them earn it and Bible said give your second cheek also. Both were contradictory to each other. Finally, I have found a middle ground. Both are very fine and the best books I have ever read.

I would have to say that "Devils Guard", by George Robert Elford, is the most engaging book I have ever read. Also, "The Alienist" by Caleb Carr, kept me up for two nites. They are both about subjects that interest me greatly, and I like historical fiction, where real historical personalities are interwoven with the fictional characters.
-
A tie..."Catcher in the Rye" and "On the Road". To me they are both about expanding your horizons while dealing with the trials and tribulations you encounter.
-
1984.....no explanation necessary in my opinion
-
I read "Atlas Shrugged" as a teenager and it refocused my attentions to work and effort. I read it as an adult and it reinforced my economic and political philosophy. It is smacks you in the face sometimes, but it is a timeless tale of what it takes to succeed.

-

It's a toss up between Stephen King's "Insomnia" and "The Stand". Both are very unique and detailed. King is such an awesome writer,he pulls you into his writings and you can't put the book down! I highly suggest these two books to anyone!

I think that would be the book of Ecclesiastes, as it contains a wealth of wisdom.

1984 by George Orwell---I can read that book over and over again.

Recently - "The Name of the Wind" by Patrick Rothfuss. This book reminded me all over again why I fell in love with fantasy. Sadly, I have to wait a year for the next installment Ah, the sweet agony of anticipation and the incredible satisfaction the beginning of a truly great story brings.

I'm currently reading "Letters from Iceland" by WH Auden and Louis MacNeice. It's a travel book from the 1930s. And very entertaining. Also, Edwin Morgan's latest collection "A Book of Lives".

"Emmeline" by Judith Rossner, the author of "Looking For Mr. Goodbar." I had read it once when it first came out, but I was young then, and it just made me feel sad that Mr McGuire and others treated her that way, and thought that it wasn't her fault it happened. I just read it again a week ago, and now I am angry at the way she was treated but realize that she was warned over and over about him and men in general, but chose not to listen. Being lonely is not a good reason to jeopardize her future. She should have been writing to her mother instead of running around with a married man, who kept making it seem it was all her fault that he was pursuing her. I know that is confused thinking, but it made me conflicted.
-
Good Earth it was based on chinese life in the late 1800's is a good book because it sort of gives you an insight about Chinese culture, men and women traditions, and dictators around that time
-
One Flew Over the Cuckoo's Nest Just before that, Fight Club. The end's what made it for me.
-
Atlas Shrugged I haven't read it yet because the library only had an audio cassette version available, I'm currently sixth on the waiting list for the paperback copy. Amazon.com - Atlas Shrugged: 35th Anniversary Edition (Hardcover): http://tinyurl.com/26da32
-
Demian by herman hesse.
-
Barefoot Gen! :P
-
1984 was pretty cool.
-
I just read Fight Club. Thought that was pretty good. Now I'm reading Fear in Loathing in Las Vegas and, also, BOY + the fantastic Mr fox (about to be the new Wes Anderson movie). Out of my all time favorite books, I would choose between A wrinkle in time vs where the red fern grows.
-
After reading your answers you guys made me think about reading 1984....though the best book i read was a child called "it" by dave pelzer.

Thank you for your question, gary. Most influential to my life = Friedrich Nietzsche: "The Geneology of Morals" Best literature = Fyodor Dostoevsky: "Crime and Punishment" Most entertaining = anything written by Kurt Vonnegut Most involving (hard to put down on a rainy day) = Stephen King: "The Stand" Funniest (by far) = Joseph Heller: "Catch 22" Least effort to comprehend = Dr. Suess: "The Cat in the Hat" Most difficult to comprehend (but worth the effort) = *tie* 1)Immanuel Kant: "Critique of Pure Reason" and 2) Martin Heidegger: "Being and Time" Most profound = my doctoral thesis (hypothetically?) ;-) Most existentially provocative = *tie* 1)Franz Kafka: "The Trial" and 2) Albert Camus: "The Stranger" Most valuable owned = 1st Edition, 1st printing of R.S. Yeoman: "A Guide Book of United States Coins", now to a collector worth lotsa $ (!)
-
This one is easy for me to answer - Crime and Punishment by Dostoyevsky. No other book has ever provoked me, moved me, and made me think like this book has. Following that one, I would say Childhood's End by Arthur C. Clarke. Green Eggs and Ham is right up there too :)

Paulo Coehlo's Eleven Minutes is the best for me so far. My competitors at IBeatYou.com gor Catcher in the Rye.
