Following on the from the other thread
where someone asked what the most ridiculous thing you've read in a book was. (And therefore ruining anything on my wish list 😂)
I want to know what the best book you've read is. What book I must read soon.

I'm partway through 'Becoming' by Michelle Obama. I got it as a sample and after two or three chapters had to buy it on my kindle. It's so good. She writes really well.

@Needhelp101

Christ, how could I have forgotten Fingersmith/ The Night Watch/The Little Friend? Sarah Waters. a AND Watership Down!
Argh! Yes, Sarah Waters, especially Fingersmith which is wonderful to read for the first time and then re-read again and again. I sense a re-read of The Night Watch coming on...
