Most memorable books till date - Enid Blyton's St Claire's and Mallory Towers series.
I just couldnt get enough of those books. The day i got the last series for Mallory towers was a saturday, my dad had to beg everyone else to just let me be, i didnt sleep all night, i read the book everywhere . . . in the bathroom, while eating, doing the dishes.
Is Enid Blyton the Famous five series guy???

The Word. . . . . .

can't remember who the author was, but it's the kind of thing a Dan Brown would'a written. . . .  its about a man who conned the whole world and tried ridicule the whole xtian religious setup by writing on a number of ancient scrolls he claimed to be lost/missing, unaccou sections of the Holy Bible in an ancient, almost extinct language that only one man in the entire world could translate!
Gripping, mind-blowing stuff I tell ya. . . .  if there's anybody out there who knows the book or who's got a copy, i sure would love to read it again. . .  holla at me PLZ!

(1) The book of revelations and (2), Forest of thousand of demons aka 'igbo irun mole' translated by Eminent Professor Wole Soyinka. Because they compares favourably and even more authentic than the darkest of any perfect book.

Apart from the Bible that will stand the test of time, i like

"The Notebook" - Nicholas Sparks - it's a story of love and it's actually based on a true life story.

"Redeeming Love" - Francine Rivers - Hosea's  Story brought back to life in such a way that anyone can relate 2 it

"Things Fall Apart" - Chinua Achebe - an epic

"Efuru" - Flora Nwapa -

Ive read a lot of books that I can't really remember all now. But the most touching books I ve read that always affect my life and make me think most times are:

No time for tears (I think by Niyi Osundare)

Lightling by Danielle Steel

With exceptional Regard and respect to the Holy Bible

 just a line in the SCRIPTURE

          and  ye are gods, children of the MOST HIGH (Ps 82:6) .
         
                                              and


a powerful psycho philosophical book " Letter to Gail " by Paul Twitchel

          " that calm man who remains unchanged in the face of adversity and pleasure; whom all these does not move  is able O SON OF BRATA  2 attain IMMORTALITY"

Danielle steel's Zoya- i definitely agree
John Grisham's A time to Kill

Antiochus 1V-

Danielle Steel knows how to cut accross the nevers with her writings,her books are always too emotional. You feel your pulse when at it,sometimes the suspense and imaginations can be killing.

Zoya and Malice are one of d bombs
I can't also rule out the Chambers by John Grisham ,so memorable, it made me cry
