What is the best literary work you ´ve ever read?

I am about to finish, what I consider, the best literary work I have ever read.

Selected by my book club, it is a gothic novel quickly written by a young man over 200 years ago. Still popular today, its scandalous nature caused quite a stir back then resulting in two rewrites.

The Monk by Matthew Lewis

Winesburg, Ohio by the American author Sherwood Anderson. I loved its grotesque characters.

The Grapes of Wrath by John steinbeck, so realistic and melodramatic story: one has to struggle with its characters when reading it!

The River Between by the Kenyan author James Ngugi is also a literary masterpiece that is full of symbolism.

very hard to choose...

- Pride and Prejudice by Jane Austen: pretty modern for its time, i love the love story but also the social comments within the story.

- Firestarter by Stephen King: fell in love with SK when i read this novel when I was 15... his novels are my most precious possessions at home, no one is allowed to touch them!

- the Harry Potter series by J.K. Rowling: makes me feel like a child again when I used to believe the stories i read were true!

- Game of thrones by George R.R. Martin: you never know who will die next, whether it ï¿½s a villain or one of the characters you root for...

- Shopaholic by Sophie Kinsella: a feel-good chick lit that made me laugh each time I ï¿½ve read, no matter how depressed i was at the time. all the novels Sophie Kinsella wrote have that effect on me: i can ï¿½t help laughing out loud no matter where I am!
