Romance of the Three Kingdoms easily.
Anyone who argues with me can place their reasons here and then I will flame you to death because you are a ****ing idiot.

Ender's Game. 'nuf said.

Hmmm... The Bible? The Koran?
JohnIII posted 05-28-99 02:48 PM ET
TV Times?

Some writer's guild or another said it was Ulysses. I'm not sure. It's impossible to choose without reading EVERY book ever written.

That's the "TV Guide" over here.
The only reading some people get!

The bible, you say, ass-****ing-hole.
DanS posted 05-28-99 04:13 PM ET
Huh? Methinks you're incoherent. Explain.

The Bible. (Who is this newbie Picker guy anyways?)
DanS posted 05-28-99 07:20 PM ET
Dunno. These things are happening with frightening regularity now, though.

In terms of Sales, It's the bible.
In terms of number of copies distributed, It's Collected saying and poems by Chairman Mao, popularly known as the little red book.
In terms of most influential, I'd have to side with Das Capital by Marx. Or Evolution of the Species by means of Natural Selection by Darwin. Or The Art of War by Sun Tzu. or The Wealth of Nations by Adam Smith. Or...

Yeh, Hugo. There is quite a list of possibilities.
Picker posted 05-31-99 08:40 AM ET
I was talking about the most entertaining (hence fiction) book of all time, which is why I said the bible you say etc. The bible's quite boring(although some parts of the OT are interesting). I would have to say that the art of war is pretty damn good though.

Dune.
DanS posted 05-31-99 12:36 PM ET
Picker, thanks for the explanation. Now if you just would have specified fiction in the first place, you wouldn't have had to call me an ass-****ing-hole, whatever that is.
The Bible had some real far-out stuff, but if we're talking fiction, I'd have to go with my college statistics text-book.

College statistics text-book, eh. HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA!!!
