Best book I've ever read?? That's a tough one because I have so many things that interest me. So many different reasons for reading what I read...
Best Fantasy: Robert Jordan's Wheel of Time series
Best Mystery: Michael Connelly's Black Echo
Best Political Thriller: Vince Flynn's Transfer of Power
Best Historical Fiction: Steven Pressfield's Gates of Fire -->Absolutely best battle scenes I've ever read!!
Best History: Anything by Stephen E. Ambrose -->If I had to pick one it would be D-Day
Best Economics: Basic Economics by Thomas Sowell
Best Current Events: Moment of Truth in Iraq by Michael Yon --> He has an online magazine that is worth reading too
Best Biography: Ronald Reagan by Dinesh D'Souza
Best Religion: The Language of God by Francis S Collins
What's So Great About Christianity by Dinesh D'Souza --> Both books use science to show evidence of God
As far as sex scenes I think there are times and places for them in Literature; however, I think they are overused far too much. I guess that when I read I just want a good story, and most times sex scenes are just there to be there.
Postscript: If anyone does decide to read any historical fiction by Steven Pressfield you may want to visit this cool little site, so you know how to pronounce names and places... www.howjsay.com
