Hehe, I cant borrow it in the library because its so friggin popular, its loaned all the time, and there are waiting lists for it. Even reserving and booking it from libraries across the country has waiting lists. Unbelieveable(even if, thankfully the lists are getting shorter faster).
The same problem with Oscar Wilde's The Picture of Dorian Gray, a must read book.
Great recommendations btw, I dont read as much as I like, intriguing book recommendations in this thread(besides those I have already read).
I like book series the most, would like to recommend Mario Puzo's the Sicilian(a book that rivals his God Father novels, all set in an intriguing WWII Sicily). His other books with Omert'a and The last don are quite good too. Barry Eislers novel series of the assassin John Rain are great too.
Sometimes, you are in different phases in the books you read, and right now it is Historical Fiction. Ispecially the novel series The Emperor by Conn Iggulden, about non other then Gaius Julius Caesars life from the age of 7 til his bitter end.
The best book the genre of Historical Fiction is quite easily Stephen Pressman's The Gates Of Fire, an anstoundingly vivid tale about the Spartan's way of life, and the most famous and heroic battle in history, Battle Of Thermopylae(Link for info:
