I believe the best book I've ever read, is the book I'm reading now.

Fifty Shades of Gray is that good, huh?

:laugh:

I deserve that after such a vague post. Let me clarify. The best book depends on what interests you today. Five years ago I would have told you The prophet, two years ago The Tibetan book of living and dying but today maybe Mystery teachings from the living earth.

We are forever changing and so should the books we read.

It is way too difficult to choose just one book.

That being said, maybe I will try reading fifty shades of grey.

Forgot to mention that there are lots to choose from at Project Gutenberg .

I really enjoyed Nana Veary's Change We Must, so I'd probably recommend that first.

Though, like Lykeios, I'm also a big fan of The Tao of Pooh.

Both of which are in TotJO's library!

postmodern satanism by Jason king

Art of war By Sun Tzu

Fiction :

A game of thrones By George R R Martin

I'm adding Cosmos by Carl Sagan as a book everyone should read

"The Shak" - Paul Young
"The Kybalion" - Three Initiates
"Conversations with God" - Neale Donald Walsch

"The Way of the Peaceful Warrior" - Dan Millman
"The Celestine Prophecy" - James Redfield
"The Last Hours of Ancient Sunlight" and "The Prophet's Way" - Thom Hartmann

Four pages in and nobody mentioned The Hitchhiker's Guide To The Galaxy by Douglas Adams yet?

One book to rule them all?

Paradise Lost

If my home were to catch on fire tonight then my very old, tattered, dog-eared and scribbled-on college copy (the approximate size and weight of a house-brick) would be all I'd be carrying on my way out of the window.

You are my new favourite person.
I have an 1800s copy of Paradise Lost that's barely holding together but it would totally be the first thing I saved in a fire.. (well the first non-living thing.. I have a zoo to save first).

Otherwise, I would bring
Meditations by Marcus Aurelius (non-fiction) and
Interview with the Vampire by Anne Rice (fiction) which is completely my favourite book.
