What's the best book you have ever read?

Question: What's the best book you have ever read!?

my mom's birthday's coming up and I was thinking about getting her a book!. What books do you recommend!?Www@QuestionHome@Com

Best Answer - Chosen by Asker:

Depending on what genre your mother is interested in, that is where you should begin look for reading material!. If she enjoys excellent fiction, "A Prayer for Owen Meany" is one of the best books I've ever read!. I can also say that Ann Rice's "Servant of the Bones," covers Jewish history, mysticism, and the kabbalah, and is a book that will be read over and over!. You may recognize Ann Rice as the author of "Interview With A Vampire," and may be turned off because that particular writing is a little out there!. "Servant" is not at all similar and I highly recommend it!. "Midnight in the Garden of Good and Evil" is classified as non-fiction and historical!. If you have seen the movie, there are many lines from the book utilized, however, some are out of context!. "Midnight" has much humor, real drama (murder), while richly educational!. I could go on!.!.!.it is essential to know what your mother REALLY likes to read!. I hope I have helped you!. Need more ideas!? let me know!. :)Www@QuestionHome@Com
