    Lord of the Rings by J.R.R. Tolkien. Best books ever, IMO.

    The Unknown Soldier by Väinö Linna.
    A combination of brilliant characterization, heavy war-criticism, a sort-of coming-of-age story, poignancy and rib cracking humor wrapped in to a wonderfully ironic narration of a few dozen young men in the Continuation War (Finland vs. Soviet Union 1941-44).

    That is a very sad book. :< I read two books from Dave Pelzer and one from his brother, who was also abused.

    Cold Fire by Tamora Piece? I thought that was pretty good.

    I'd have to say Jane Eyre. It might not be the most thought-provoking book I've ever read, but I definitely have to give it credit. I can't seem to get enough of it, to be honest. :)

    Thank you Junior year of high school.

    The best book I ever read would be "The Wizard Heir" by Cinda Chima.. It's the second book to The Warrior Heir series and I simply adored it because Seph was one awesome main character >.>.. He's a wizard (Sci-fi fanatic, got to love those books about wizards x3) and it's about a year that really changed his life.. It was an actioned packed book that even made me cry ='[.. It was terribly good, and I recommend it to anyone who loves the Harry Potter series XD

    Mine'd have to be The Talisman by Stephen King and Peter Straub. Something about it just got to me.

    King has a lot of wonderful books, but that one... just wow.

    Although it may seem silly, Roald Dahl made such a big impact on my childhood. I loved his books and he got me into reading.
    Even though I have read many books, including those of Stephen King and Stephenie Meyer, I still love those childrens books the best. Old memories, perhaps?


    (...I'll never grow tired of reading Matilda [': )

    Ah, I think it was series of Unfortunate Events that changed me.
    I began to look at things different and stuffs, reading tons of books. Scary thing was, before I even picked up those books, I acted like Klaus :/

    Those books were the most fun to read, I even cried when
    Count Olaf died
    and then when Violet, Klaus and Sunny's
    ending was never told
    I made up my own. Like
    after they sailed away from that island
    , they got their fortune and built their own house again with
    the baby too
    . Then
    the Quagmire triplets came back and Violet married Quigley. Klaus would marry Fiona too.
    Or that
    at the end of the books, their boat gets shipwrecked and they all die

    Call of the Wild was an interesting book to read. Jack London was able to capture both the brutality of nature and animal perspective with an interesting quality. The book essentially glorified uncivility and held a message of going back to your roots and how one must strive with complete effort for proper happiness.
