What is the best book you ever read?

I am ashamed to say that i don't have the widest of lists when it comes to books i have read. I am making it my goal to read at least five books a semester, but recently i haven't read so much. If i really wanted to be honest and tell you the book that kept my attention and entertained me to the likes of which no book had ever done before. Then i would have to say it was Harry Potter and the Deathly Hollows. Now wait just a minute before you start thinking that this is not "appropriate reading" for Christians. I am able to to pick apart what is fiction and what i actually believe. The book doesn't tell me to go kill people, nor does it tell me to perform magic. Its a fictional story, just like the ones we learn in English Classes. The reason i feel a need to defend is because i have dealt before with Christians who look down upon the books and shun it because of its "witchcraft" theme.

The book it self is an excellent piece of literature that ties in six previous books the author has written. If an author writes well enough to get me to read seven of her books, then well.. enough said. The book changes its whole environment versus its six previous installments which all mainly took place in the Hogwart's school background. The book takes you on a road-trip type of adventure, that leaves no loose ends as far as the plot goes. At the end of this book you feel a feeling of completion, and sadness. The fact that the book it self is the final tale in the series of Harry Potter makes you dumbfounded and a little gasped.

The book is defiantly a good read. If you are unable to read books and now fall into a cultism revolving around the book, then i suggest you don't read it :)

Side Note: Just so we are clear, I'm not writing this to you Mrs. Groves, the directed audience is everyone as if i my blog was getting one million hits a day.
