Best Books in the World / Favorite Books

My all-time favorite book is The Feast of Love by Charles Baxter. It's incredible.

One of my all time favourites is Tom Clancy's "RAINBOW SIX". It's the best Tom Clancy novel i've read.

Another one of my favourites is in the non-fiction category and it's called: The Naked Ape, by Desmond Morris. It gives you a very good insight into the evolutionary behaviour of human beings. Recommended for all naked apes (y)
