Which is the best book you have ever read and what you liked most in it. I need a specific...
answer so that i can get an overall idea about the book and it inspires me to read it too
For me the best book, or perhaps I should say, "most important book", although I have my doubts as to whether I can inspire you to read it, is "The Unspoken Sermons of George MacDonald."
The reason for this is that, reading this book, I realized for the first time that it was not necessary to believe absurdities (as I saw them), or fall in line with any established dogma, to have faith. More specifically, George MacDonald demolished what I had always thought "Christianity" was, including the idea of an eternal hell--and this was important, as for me, the concept of an all-powerful yet all-loving deity sending masses of people off to an eternal cosmic torture chamber was both horrific and senseless.
The book is online, free to read, at Project Gutenberg:

I have two! The first is The Secret by Rhonda Byrne It was an inspirational book, and filled with a ton of make you feel good ideas. Then there is The Guardian by Nickolas Sparks way opposite as my first choice, but I love a good love story and this book had that and some.
