In the movie sunset limited, the character plaied by Samuel Jackson claims his Bible used to have the words "greatest book ever written" on it. But i canot for the life of me find a picture of a book where the words are still there :P
I need a link to a picture with a Bible who have those words on the cover (if such a Bible does exist).
5 stars and all that for the one to give a link to such a picture.
Answer
"The Greatest Book Ever Written" was written by Fulton Oursler and published in the early 50s. . It was a novelization of the Old Testament. . Rare would be the publisher who would dare publish the Bible juxtapositioning the Oursler book with it. Here's a link to a picture of the Oursler book.

Answer
I don't know any books written in 2nd person. It's pretty rare, since 1st and 3rd can work so well and 2nd can become irritating to read after a while. Well, unless you count novels written in letters or diaries.
These are great, realistic YA novels with absolutely no cliche paranormal romance or bratty girls - and they're all easy to read:
Elsewhere - Gabrielle Zevin (actually, this is the only one on this list that isn't really realistic - the characters act realistically but it has an unusual, original setting - it's actually pretty interesting - check out a summary of it and you'll see!)
The Memoirs of a Teenage Amnesiac - Gabrielle Zevin (overall, I liked it, though Elsewhere was probably better)
Because I Am Furniture - Thalia Chaltas (loved it. Oh, and it's written in poetry, just to say.)
Looking for Alaska - John Green (One of my very favorite YA novels. Great book.)
Paper Towns - John Green (Not as great as Alaska, but still a good read. Partly because some of the characters are so similar.)
Jellicoe Road - Melina Marchetta (Another one of my very favorite YA novels.)
Looking for Alibrandi - Melina Marchetta (My 2nd favorite novel of Marchetta's.)
Saving Francesca - Melina Marchetta (Great boo though not one of my very favorites.)
Absolutely Maybe - Lisa Yee (Lisa Yee's always entertaining, though in this novel, compared to her ones aimed toward younger audiences, the characters faced greater challenges in a harder world, which I appreciated.)
It's Kind of a Funny Story - Ned Vizzini (Great book.)
Staying Fat for Sarah Byrnes - Chris Crutcher (Another great book.)
The Outsiders - S.E. Hinton (Oh, God, I love this book.)
Just Listen - Sarah Dessen (Speak by L.H.A. was better, but this was a good book too. I think it's her best. If you like it, try some of her others. They're all pretty good. Dreamland's probably the worst.)
The Book Thief - Markus Zusak (Great book.)
Speak - Laurie Halse Anderson (Great book. Definitely her best. Wintergirls was great too but the lyrical voice started to get annoying after a while, and some of the stuff is sorta icky.)
Thirteen Reasons Why - Jay Asher (okay, not my favorite, but tons seem to love it and it was pretty entertaining though I didn't like some of the characters)
Story of a Girl - Sara Zarr (Nice book. Not a total favorite but good.)
The Absolutely True Diary of a Part-Time Indian - Sherman Alexie (Painfully funny. I love this one to death. Read it.)
The Perks of Being a Wallflower - Stephen Chbosky (this isn't YA, but the protagonist is a teen, and it's a great book, so I'll list it)
The Catcher in the Rye - J.D. Salinger (this isn't YA, but the protagonist is a teen, and it's a great book, so I'll list it - look out for symbolism)
