Anna Karenina. It made me swoon even the second time I read it. It has everything; love, intrigue, society, perspective, romance, consequence, humanity and epic, epic passion.
i like james patterson books as it keeps you interested.
Tie between the Moviegoer (for its very sensitive treatment of religion and mental illness) and Islands in the Stream (for its vivid and almost painful beauty).
Harry Potter. Adventure in every page :P
Between Silk and Cyanide. It's non-fiction, and the author just has the most amazing humor as he tells the story of his role in the code way during WWII.
Harry Potter - because I belong at Hogwarts.
Books? What are they?
Maybe if you put down the toys and shiny things, you would remember?

"Rayuela" Julio Cortázar
Families and how to survive them, great companion + Dale Carnegie's How to...
Harry Potter, hands down. The story and characters alone are absolutely incredible - I can't even begin to describe how amazing - but I have also continually found solace, happiness, entertainment and excitement in the books, even after years and rereads. To me, the books are like an old friend that is always there for you.
L'encyclopedie du savoir relatif et absolu by Bernard Werber. A serie of eclectic and mind blowing facts about our world.
Hinds Feet In High Places. This book brought a lot of healing and it's beautifully written.
The Way of the Peaceful Warrior by Dan Millman because it is all about the lessons in life we can learn from and the ways to spin things in positive ways, examples we can take and a variety of positive life lessons. Best book in a long time and I read it again and again.
I would like to read this book. Wonder if its on Amazon...

I am sure it is, I got it at Copperfields and read it often. Worth the purchase.
