Whether it's a fictional novel or a self-help book. From sci-fi to romance, mystery to horror, history, poetry or even travel, guides, religion, spirituality or new age. There are many different types and genres of books to read out there!
What is the best book you've ever read?
And what is your favorite type of book to read?
Myself I like to read self help books and books on travel and peoples biographies and autobiographies of famous (in infamous) people from history. I love learning what makes them tick and what their own inspiration was for doing the things they did.
I do like to read novels sometimes too like fantasy and sci-fi and murder, mystery and suspense type books etc. But generally I prefer to read books that actually teach me something. Whether it's for improving myself and my own life somehow, or reading about other peoples lives and extracting something practical from them.

So here goes my favorite book of all time has to be Fuck It The Ultimate Spiritual Way by John C Parkin.
This book literally changed my life. I read it last year and since I have applied a lot of those principles my life has literally done a 360. This time last year I was in an awful space and when I read it in October last year there have been a series of events and self growth to now that have changed everything.
If you have not read it then I suggest you do.
The other books well I love reading, I love Fantasy, Drama, Mystery...
A fiction book that stands out for me is "Clan of the Cave Bear" by Jean Auel, it was such a powerful book.
I also love reading some true stories, I'm not sure if you are familiar with Torey Hayden? She writes some fiction books now but she has also shared some real accounts of the work she has done with special needs children, specifically with elective autism. A lot of the children she taught came from very bad backgrounds and there are some beautiful success stories.
Oh man, there too many books to list here.... The Sword of Truth series by Terry Goodkind... The Dark Tower series by Stephen King.. The Egytian series by Wilbur Smith was awesome, ok any book by Wilbur Smith and Stephen King is awesome!
Since I've had kids though my tastes in reading have changed a bit, I prefer really easy reads. I hardly have any time to read anymore and when I do have a bit of time it is a quick few minutes before I am disturbed. So yes the last few years I've gotten into some chick reads which I never ever thought would have happened LOL
Oh my, do I sound like a reading fanatic or what? Mike, I am going to have to go potty mouth here to tell you about the best book I have read... being an addict and alcoholic in recovery I also love self help books.
