Best book you've ever read, that you absolutely couldn't put down?

I'm looking for suggestions. Inspired by another thread about getting love of reading back.

I would rather like something that made you feel some emotion. I'd love one that is so chilling, it keeps you stuck to your chair over fear Grin

Sad ones would be good too. Just to balance it out, which books have made you laugh, or feel positive?

The Gargoyle by Andrew Davidson.
When I finished it I had to not start anything new for a few days as I couldn't think of anything to follow it.

I loved Shantaram.

Diary of a Nobody as mentioned above is gentle and funny.

I also loved Gone With The Wind.

Best book for emotion - Lincoln In The Bardo, by George Saunders. Funniest book - Diary of a Nobody by George Grossmith, the main character is like a Victorian David Brent!
