For me it has to be George Orwell - 1984.

I went into the Kings Library at the British Museum, which has well over a 60.000 books in it, and it was really daunting to see them all, and to imagine someone might have taken time out to read them.

But it has to be The Bible, as it has more wisdom contained within it's pages, than all those 60.000 books put together.

For me, it's Roots by Alex Haley. Very powerful, makes me cry every time. You go through a huge number of different emotions while reading it; sadness and distress, anger, joy when the family wins its freedom, hope for the future that lessons may be learned from the mistakes of the past... it's all there. Beautiful, beautiful book. Highly recommended

I read the Dave Pelzer few, very moving and very frank about his fostering as he was growing up

Jonny Wilkinson's autobiography is the best autobiography I've ever read. Maybe the best book, aside from the Bible.

He had very challenging, mental issues that drove him to despair and injury and it helped me finally push through a rough patch of my own.

Helps that he's an idol too, I suppose

Really?

Try Sharon Osbournes and Billy Connolly - one is really great, one is absolute parp!!

Funnily enough for comedy factor the best book I've read is the bible.

It's like watching CSI Miami and you know how you can always spot a glaring error or contradiction in every episode?

Just like that, it's comedy genius.

Utter crap, the Bible is simply a novel that's been taken out of context.

This book goes undisputed as having the most wisdom in it, and it's all based on truth and facts - unlike said Bible.

Great choice for a book! I'm with you there, all the way.
They are all so good sometimes I can't tell them apart.

What's Razzle? They sung about Razzle Dazzle Days in Pete's dragon. I loved that film, is it related?

 

[Consistency]

Found it - Just love it. It is Brazzle Dazzle day not razzle dazzle day.

This has put me in a good mood now. I wasn't in a bad one but could have been in a better one and now I am.

You mean the TV show (which came after the books) is vastly different to the books?

I daren't watch much of the TV show because there's no way they could get it all in correctly.

Not sure if you ever read the Sword of Truth series, but TV utterly ruined the books.
