To Kill A Mockingbird is probably my number one. I think what made this book excellent was the progression of what the world is as a child to how ugly the world becomes the more you live to see it. Growing up is a hard thing and this book really puts it into perspective. It's forever my recommendation to the world (mostly friends).

Those are all good thing. It's been recommended to me before. I'll have to give it a try sometime soon.

It fluctuates between The Count of Monte Christo and Dune. In both books I can lose myself in the universe and really feel immersed. Voice, imagery, tone, and overall direction are just magnificent.

Both good choices. (Imagine if the Count got his hands on some spice! Whoa...)

Read the unabridged translated Count of Monte Cristo in 3 days by waking up, reading, eating, reading, eating, reading, eating, reading, and sleeping. It was great.

Truly living the dream!
Were you staying in a gorgeous library at the time? Hiding in the stacks at closing time and coming back out after everyone had left?
