This question won't be for everyone - just name the book you've enjoyed reading the most. Not looking for literary quality, just pure enjoyment.

I'm tempted to say the AFL prospectus, but instead would give my vote to:

The Happiest Refugee - Anh Do

Finished reading a few weeks back, couldn't put it down. Highly recommend it.

Magician - Raymond E Feist

The trilogy ended up spanning over 20 books, nearly all of which I have read. I collected them all, over about a 5 year period, they are a little hard to come by now without sourcing them over the internet.

Tomorrow, When The War Began by John Marsden all this series

some of us would have read this in high school i had to read the 1st one in year 10 english then got hooked and read the rest was awesome they also made a movie on the 1st book may do more but nothing is set yet hope they do

i'm not really a book reader at all but could not put these down

This is much more up my alley than the movies was...

This is just stuff I've read recently but -

Angela's Ashes - Magnificent book.
Bossypants I really enjoyed, everything Tina Fey is brilliant in my eyes.

The Tapestry series really surprised me as well. Enjoyed it more than Harry Potter/Hunger Games (although I despised the HG series).

There are so many others though...If I went back a couple of years.

+1 to this. Read it a couple of times. Still very moving

Your girlfriend is awesome, then. It's like reading Indiana Jones, but faster paced!
