The Hobbit!<br><br>
\"In a hole in the ground there lived a hobbit. Not a nasty, dirty, wet hole, filled with the ends of worms and an oozy smell, nor yet a dry, bare, sandy hole with nothing in it to sit down on or to eat: it was a hobbit-hole, and that means comfort.\"
<br><br>I\'m probably in the minority with this opinion... but I think \"The Hobbit\", written by J R R Tolkien, is more entertaining and enjoyable than \"Lord of the Rings\". \"The Hobbit\" is more innocent, less filled with religious overtones... simply more fun.

Simply put, The Hobbit is the bestest book ever written.

Methinks the question is hard-put to be answered. However, I do think Rushdie\'s \'Midnight\'s Children\', Wilbur Smith\'s \'River God\', James Michener\'s \'Chesapeake\' and Asimov\'s \'The God\'s Themselves\' were bloody brilliant!

boy, what a response...sorry, never read \"midnight children\"...but my opinion is \"A Brief History of Time\" by Hawking. When the publishers told Hawking that every equation in the book halves the buyers, Hawking finished the book with just on equation ( e= mc2 ) and remarks \"hope that doesn\'t scare away half of my potential readers\".

hey vrinda, that is why I asked for opinions, not answers :-)

by **devi** » Wed Mar 26, 2003 1:27 am

as vrinda said, i too cannot say one particular book is the best, one of my fav\'s is Atlas Shrugged by Ayn Rand

by **tarantula** » Wed Mar 26, 2003 9:40 am

Hmm. I guess I didn\'t think of non-fiction being a part of this. If we\'re looking at non-fiction, then my fav\'s \'The Rise and Fall of the Third Chimpanzee\' by Jared Diamond. It explains human behaviour based on genetics, evolution and history, and it\'s incredible! Completely trashes a lot of accepted behavioural theory. Provides a lot of insights into things like infidelity and smoking

by **Itsme** » Wed Mar 26, 2003 7:35 pm

by **sharon** » Fri Mar 28, 2003 10:06 am

by **tarantula** » Mon Mar 31, 2003 2:32 pm

Doesn\'t anybody read Asimov?? People of the world, thou\'rt missing something wondrous!

by **Jatinder** » Mon Mar 31, 2003 3:26 pm

Best book ever?
No doubt it is \"Fountainhead\"

by **Desdemona** » Tue Apr 01, 2003 5:13 am

I think one of the best books I have read is \'Memoirs of a reluctant Messaih\' by Richard Bach... and, of course, the forever fav \'Gone with the wind\'

by **Cowboy** » Thu Apr 03, 2003 3:14 am

Nancy Friday mainly writes \'bout sex-education...hey mods, is it ok like this?

by **Cowboy** » Thu Apr 03, 2003 3:16 am
