Great Expectations. I had to force myself to read it when I studied English Literature (GCSE), it wasn't until many years later that I was glad I had read it and truly appreciated it.
An issue of Graphotism from 2004, a monthly magazine on some of the finest works of graffiti around the world. Printed on high density glossy paper, almost every page makes it worth the £25 (40USD).

Not trying to argue with you (it probably would have differed) but FYI Robert Jordan did plan out the major plot elements and write a substantial amount of material. Brandon Sanderson pulled it together and filled it out like Christopher Tolkein and Guy Gavriel Kay did with the Silmarilion. And it is extremely well done.Argtee said:
OT mine would be my original Lord of the Rings illustrated by Alan Lee (with all the appendices!. Bruised, battered but still awesome. Dune (Frank Herbert) and an ancient copy of the Complete Professor Challenger Stories (Sir Arthur Conan Doyle) a close second and third. If it was series it would be the Malazan Book of the Fallen (Steven Eriksson) just before the Wheel of Time. I love WoT but the Malazan stuff dwarfs it in scope.
Going to have to say this one:
Christopher Moore is hilarious and touching all at the same time. Love all his books but this one takes the cake.

Well I suppose one one the most sold books I own is the Qur'an, but I'll have to go with the Lord of the Rings books.
How much? I want to buy it xDIsraelRocks said:Like the title says, name the best book you have in your collection
For me its this leatherbound baby
Possibly Dune or Shogun are my favorite books. I don't own them, they belong to my dads book collection but they are the two best ones I have read so far.
I feel like a cheat if i say a book that i've read but don't actualyl own...
If i was allowed to, I'd say brave new world, king lear, the glass menagerie, Animal Farm or something by Terry Prachet...
But seeing as i have to own the bloody things....
Gary Larson - There's a hair in my dirt.
Just kidding, but it's friggin hilarious.
Chuck Palahniuk - Fight Club.
I've also never read any of HP lovecraft's stuff. Are they worth the read? By the sounds of things thus far, they are.
