I'll have to go with The Da Vinci Code and Pride & Prejudice.
Those have to be my top two favorites.

White Lines is one of my favorite books too. I even liked it better than "The Coldest Winter Ever". They were similar but White Lines is a lot better. So to all they like The Coldest Winter Ever.....White Lines is a must read!!!!!!

Right now a book I'm required to read for a class is literally changing the way I think and perceive life:
Left To Tell by Immaculee Ilibagiza
a survivor of the Rwandan Holocaust.

What is the What is a fantastic book.
*my bad for the long post, just wanted to share the review with you all*
What is the What is a novel written by Dave Eggers and drawn from the real-life story of Valentino Achak Deng, one of the Lost Boys of Sudan. The title comes from a local story about the reward of choosing what’s known over what’s unknown. As they flee the destruction around them, though, the Lost Boys are constantly forced to choose the unknown future of refugee camps and life in America.
What is the What describes the interminable walking, the militia and bombs, starvation and disease, lions and crocodiles that kill countless young boys as they attempt to find refuge in Ethiopia and Kenya. The obstacles of their journey are so astonishing and heart-breaking that you—-and they-—often wonder how they can go on.
Eventually many of the Lost Boys gain entry to the United States, and they form a vibrant community displaced across the country but constantly in touch by cell phone. Valentino ends up in Atlanta, adjusting to the fact that America offers its own evils and injustices. His past and present are masterfully interwoven through Valentino’s habit of mentally recounting his story to the different people he meets.

I think the book I love the most is Gone with The Wind, the relationship between Mel and Scarlett (the greatest character ever created) is so beautiful. I love the film too... amazing.
