    I started reading books when I was three, now twenty years later I must have read at least two thousand books.:o Out of that there were four books that were "unputdownable", I'm going to list only two.

    1. Harry Potter and the deathly hallows - for the way it ties all the loose ends together and ends perfectly.
    2. The Temple by Matthew Reily. - try it. Start reading it in the morning so you'll be able to finish it by mid night.

    LOL!
    I Google Temple, by Matthew Reilly the third search results down is titled:
    The Worst Book I Have Ever Read – Temple, by Matthew Reilly:p
    Oh well... either you hate it or you don't! I'll put it on my Amazon wish list to read in the future.

    My least favorite book of all time is, "The Jester", by James Patterson. Also "Message in a Bottle". What a horrible ending.

    My favourite book of all time, it's a bit of a cheat I know, is the Complete Sherlock Holmes by Arthur Conan Doyle. It's just perfection to me - the short stories fly by, and there's just enough of a long running story arc (the relationship between Holmes and Watson) that you can really get your teeth into them. I think it's the literary equivalent of having a cup of tea and putting your slippers on. I find it so comforting, I take it on holiday with me so I don't get homesick! :D

    Heh, thanks! Yeah, the Complete Sherlock Holmes is the four 'novels' and 57 short stories. I say novels, but they're more like 'novellas'. :)

    Lets change what I said,
    Favourite book is now definitely The Lost Symbol (although I haven't finished it yet!)
    But the runner-up is still Angels and Demons
