[nonfiktional]

I just want to know what you guys have read that you consider is the best. Because I'm asking for your choices and to see if I have read it or haven't yet. Thanks!

[Prometheus]

Road to Gondolfo by Robert Ludlum. It's funny, entertaining and it's about using business principles to ***** with the Pope.

Nine***** Eighty-Four by George Orwell.

Read it in 2001, and can't stop thinking about the story.

Dune - Frank Herbert

For me, the absolute best book I have ever read has to be,
Irving Stone ; The Agony and the Ecstasy.

Its all about Michaelangelo, the artist. It goes into so much detail as to how Michaelangelo become the artist that he did. he used to break into mortuaries at night to examine the bodies so that when he carved or painted he could replicate the muscle structure beneath the skin. 

Absolutley incredible book. I only picked it up as i was bored, but it really impressed me.

The Man Who Mastered Time by Ray Cummings

I like Shogun by James Clavell as well.

A bold English adventurer. An invincible Japanese warlord. A beautiful woman torn between two ways of life, two ways of love. All brought together in an extraordinary saga of a time and a place aflame with conflict, passion, ambition, lust, and the struggle for power...
