read all of them, like all of them.
well, its hard to point out one book as the most fav but if i gotta do this, i must say........"The Mysterious Island" by jules verne.
as for human drama type, my fav is "wuthering heights" , no one can beat my pal Heathcliff. A real tragic hero.

Has any of you read these books ? If you have what do you think about them.
All of them.

I rate them as follows:

1. The Count of Monte Cristo - Alexandre Dumas, père
2. Treasure Island - Robert Louis Stevenson
3. Harry Potter and The Philosopher's Stone - J. K. Rowling
4. Journey To The Center Of The Earth - Jules Verne
5. Robinson Crusoe - Daniel Defoe
6. Sherlock Holmes - Sir Arthur Conan Doyle
7. Gulliver's Travels A Voyage To Lilliput - Jonathan Swift

Jules Verne has some even better books:

1. Twenty Thousand Leagues Under the Sea
2. Round the World in Eigthy Days
3. The Clipper of Clouds

Some classics worth mentioning/reading (in no particular order):

1. Ivanhoe by Sir Walter Scott
2. Kidnapped by R L Stevenson
3. The Talisman by Sir Walter Scott
4. The Three Musketeers by Alexandre Dumas
5. The Mayor of Casterbridge by Thomas Hardy
6. The Country of the Blind (short story) by H G Wells

It's already there...the bestseller

Have you noticed that you pick any fiction, that will be surely quoted with the "The No. 1 Bestseller"

the last part of ur comment was not properly understandable to me.
I guess i read any fiction/non-fiction i can lay my hands on and which doesnt make me fall asleep. even untill one year ago i didnt have to do any housework or real-work so i just spent my time reading ,gaming and hanging out (also studying occasionally). Thats the only reason i finished many books and games.

Yep. That is true. The said book achieves the bestseller status for a week or so and then they put this tag on the book.
