remove twilight immediately it is absolutely disgusting
I agree. You should consider reading The Book of Mormon. You can't say you don't like it until you have read it.
A few of my favorite books in this list are Fountainhead, Pride & Prejudice, Catcher in the Rye, Little Women and To kill a Mocking Bird.
Breaking Dawn is so great but Lush rocks the world i just love Natasha Friends books read the book Lush, Perfect its amazing
Twilight is number 3? hmm yeah i honestly enjoyed reading twilight but with the "best book ever"?? NOT
I swear to God if Twilight is voted the best book of all time, I'm quitting reading altogether.
This list loses all credibility by having 'Twilight' at number three. Can we have a seperate list whereby no teenage girls can vote?
Nevermind, some crybaby deleted my list.
haha"maybe there should be a list for book for mormones." ahaha. i feel like a nerd for being in this site. whatever i like to read :) ahaha.
I honestly can't believe that Trainspotting is not on this list. It is the only book that has genuinely made me laugh hysterically from reading. And with such a dark topic as Heroin use, that is no easy feat.At the end of the day, these lists mean nothing, because it is based on a population that follows trend above personal discovery...and that is where our system fails.
Twilight is evidence of this. I have read the first novel and it seems like it is purposefully catering to a single sex audience, which in my opinion makes it terrible. Something truly magical would be able to touch all, not just a minority...even if that minority is half the known population.
Very disappointing, but hey, life goes on and so does my passion for true art. Not fad fair. One thing I can thank the Twilight series for is that it is getting prepubescent young ladies to reach for books instead of mobile phones...but there are so many underlying teen inspired infatuations and influences in it that it wouldn't surprise me if they were also soon reaching for pregnancy tests.
♥♥GO GO GO TWILIGHT FAN!!!! vote TWILIGHT!!! cause it's the best novel!!!! and we love really love it!!!!
Twilight - the third best novel of all time? Seriously, what's wrong with all these 3447 voters?
To the crybaby who deleted my list, fuck you. It was a simple dream, a list unpolluted by Twilight, the rest of Smeyer's works, any crummy vampire novels riding it's coattails, and Dan Brown. But someone couldn't handle that, they decided to be a big hissy infant, and delete something because it didn't fit in their crummy worldview.
At least he has a bigger vocabulary than someone who has to resort to swearing to express their feelings.
I to am a "to each there own" type, but come on. Have all you people who think Twilight is "The Best Book Ever" tried reading anything else??? Anything at all???It's a free country and I support your freedom of choice, but come on, try reading some actual literature, please, for your own sake and the sake of those who love you.
SAVE YOURSELF!
I may not be impressed with it, (and I'm not) but even if we don't care for it we don't need to insult those who do.

When I saw your post I added it. It is truly a memorable book with many wonderful comments on living life and lessons learned.
Truly a worthwhile read!
Twilight is my favorite movie...one of them!
Team Jacob<3!!!
Little, Big by John Crowley is one of the best books I've ever read... ever!!!!
The fact that one book has managed to influence the lives of millions and millions and millions of people, around the world nonetheless, should maybe give you an idea as to why the Book of Mormon is in the top 10 books. Whether you or I like it or not, it is a fact. I guess the next question would be, have you read it? If the answer is "no" then may I suggest the old, "Don't knock it, 'til you try it"

Because I enjoy the taste of their sweet tears.
Very mature of you. And you call Mike a mid-to-high functioning retard. I guess that means that you are just lower than a mid-to-high functioning retard.
Elly, "Casimir" has made his presence (and possibly his IQ) known before. Apparently he suffers from an inability to communicate with out vulgarity or with logic. I mentioned early on here that I would simply ignore flamers and ghouls. I have tried to follow that policy. I'm happy to discuss ideas or opinions but it's pointless to make a reasoned point only to have it answered by a vulgarity and name calling. So when it starts I let it go and just wait until an actual discussion begins.
Thank you Senator Blowhard. Now how about wiping the spittle of you shoulder, and parking your Walmart scooter?

Why are you saying that it is your favourite film when this website is about books!?
I find this list extremely ridiculous. Twilight, the mormon bible, are you freaky serious? Sad to see some really good books on the bottom of the list, and the travesties on the top.
This list was horrible in every way. Who created this? Probably a 13 year old girl who is obsessed with edward cullen and dreams of one day becoming mrs.cullen.
The book of Mormon in the top five? This is my funny thing of the day.
Anyone ever think about adding the Torah? How about the Zohar? How about Clausewitz' On War? Aah, I know what's missing...The Idiot's Guide to Astral Projection.
You're free to add any book you like... Though I'm not familiar with that last one. Don't care for the Book of Mormon myself, but a lot voted for it. I'd like to see more varied voting. But that's life.

anyone read the mediator series by Meg Cabot? its amazing!! the 6th was the best. when i get really into a book, i cry......i cried in almost all of these book!!!!!
Try this. The Book of the Goetia of Solomon the King translated by Aleister Crowley published by the Propagation of Religious truth in 1904. A word to the wise - be careful with this one

I suppose you thought they spoke English back then too. :)
Stephen: Already familiar with Crowley, though i can't say I'd invite him for a beer. Also slightly familiar with Jones and the Golden Dawn Society.... Not my cup of tea, still...
Hello there, Mike,What else have you read lately...or not so lately. I have always had an interest in the arcane and even remember years ago reading books by or about Cagliastro and others of the Golden Dawn.
Well, in the spirit of complete disclosure, I'm a Christian minister, so I've read quite a bit in a generic sense. My favorite books will be Christian apologists, but years ago read a lot out of curiosity. Occult encyclopedia, Golden Bough a few of those things. I ran across Crowley in connection some of the arcane writers that clustered around Germany just prior to WWII, a lot of them had been influenced by Crowley and his predecessors. Obviously I haven't studied any of it in detail.

Twilight- I cant understand why it is at the top, but people can think it is good (I preferaby don't), but does it have the potential to become a great classic in future years up to the standards of To Kill A Mocking Bird? Some new books have but twilight dosen't. I'm sorry...
I agree but that apparently speaks to the people who stop to vote here. My hope is that "most" readers here aren't actually stopping by these lists to vote.
If "best books" means literature, then I agree. Do NOT put Twilight on this list. Or The Book of Mormon. But is "best books" means books that have changed people's lives, then The Book of Mormon is # 1. You really have to read it people. Seriously. Even is some Mormons are a bit stuck-up.
Let me ask a question if I may, and I'm not looking to offend anyone here, but why do Mormons insist on rating the Book of Mormon above the Bible. The argument has been made recently "we're just another Christian denomination", yet over and over here I've seen the BOM rated above the Bible.I know my own beliefs and I don't ask to be argumentative, I just wonder about the reasoning.
The Bible should come first! (Um, I'm not Mormon btw)
I have my own beliefs, and I'm not trying to start a debate, I've just seen the BOM rated above the bible in a couple of places and I wondered about the reasoning.
LOL,Casimir!!
