It depends if you mean 'best' or really 'favourite'.
My subjective favourite book is 'A Walk in the Woods' by Bill Bryson.
If I'm being objective, the best book I've read is either Catcher in the Rye or To Kill a Mockingbird.

Another Bull**** Night in Suck City by Nick Flynn. It's a completely flawless piece of work.

I think that my favourite book that I have ever read would be The Miseducation of Cameron Post. I don't really know why, I just really enjoyed it and found it hugely relatable.

To kill a mocking bird, Harper Lee. (if there was anything to make me consider law)
Brighton rock by Graham Greene is also pretty good.

The Wolf of Wall Street, brilliant book, if you watched the movie I'd suggest giving it a read, theirs a lot that they did not include in the feature length.

That's damn difficult to say - and the more you've read, the more difficult it gets :biggrin:

I tend to say Love In The Time Of Cholera by Gabriel García Marquez, close contenders being My War Gone By, I Miss It So by Anthony Loyd, The Pianist by Władysław Szpilman and The Hobbit :smile:
My long-standing personal favourites are The Phantom Tollbooth and Wuthering Heights.
