100 Best Books of all Time that Everyone Should Read!!!

[Kathy Maxwell]

If you were asked to help compile a list entitled  "The 100 Best Books of All Time" by suggesting 2 books which ones would they be?  and why did you suggest them?

[Belle's Bookshelf]

Great question! I would suggest The Book Thief by Markus Zusak and David Copperfield by Charles Dickens - brilliant writing, brilliant characters, brilliant story - they're just brilliant! :)

I haven't read The Book Thief but I've heard great things about it!  And I absolutely loved David Copperfield!

I loved The Book Thief!  I considered added it to my post, but since it is sometimes branded as a young adult book, I decided to choose another.

That's a tough one. If I can only list two, I'll go with:

The Good Earth, by Pearl Buck

Being There, by Jerzy Kosinski

 

I pick the first because it is set in a rural China and stresses the importance of family and the land. I choose the second because, as a satire on the power of the media, it's as relevant today as it was when it was written in 1971. Both books, incidentally, were made into movies too!

Wild at Heart and

12, Quick, Easy to do, Famous and Tasty Peruvian Recipes

 

The first one helps you find yourself, and the second one teaches you how to cook easy delicious food !!!

Hmm... so many good books to choose from. :)

I guess my favorite is The Name of the Rose by Umberto Eco. I read it countless times and it's the first book i recommend when people ask.

1984 by George Orwell and Jane Eyre by Charlotte Bronte (I can't believe I'm the first one to mention this one!).

Absolutely!!!

[Tara Calaby]

Those two are definitely both in my own top ten :)
