With the Mumsnet
Book Club already thriving, we thought it about time we started reviewing grown up books and for this category we want to know what you think is the best book ever written (plenty of scope there then). At some point when we've reached a critical mass we'll be handing out a dazzling literary award to the winning book (watch out Mr Booker) so please add as many reviews as you like and feel free to comment on other folks' choices. As ever, if you have any suggestions for new categories you'd like to see, please send them over to contactus@mumsnet.com.

Condones rape, murder, slavery, genocide, paedophilia, torture, racism, homophobia... The list is endless.
But on the bright side it condemns such hideous crimes as wearing fabrics made of 2 different fibres.

The word of God - need I say more! Oh ok - it's the very best guidebook for life, love and just about everything else. A rollercoaster of a read - looking forward to meeting the main characters for real.

Wonderful wisdom and direction for raising children found particularly in the Proverbs. I realise now where all the other self-help and chidldren's psychology books have gained their wisdom from. Isn't it amazing that God's wisdom is still as relevant today as it was all those years ago.

Very helpful in times of need. Illuminates the mind, comforts and heals broken hearts.
Life transforming and relevant for all generations,all situations, times and seasons. I feel it is alive...the person of Jesus in print form.
A must read and apply to best understand and appreciate it.
