[plumb]

In no particular order...
1. Tuesdays with Morrie--inspiring
2. The Harry Potter series (particularly Book 3)
3. Catcher in the Rye--powerful
4. Girl in Hyacinth Blue--excellent delicate portrayal of emotions
5. The Little Prince--moving
6. Divine Secrets of the Ya-Ya Sisterhood--poignant story about love, life, and family (enjoyed it even more during my second reading)
7. Letters to a Young Poet--insightful
8. to come... I'm in the process of reading several books that I really like--The World According to Garp, Einstein's Dreams

Really Good Books As Well:
-Bridget Jones' Diary, The Notebook, The Mammy (hilarious!--it's the first book in an excellent trilogy about Agnes Browne and her family through the years-set in Ireland), Franny and Zooey(also by Salinger), The Lion, the Witch, and the Wardrobe, The Twisted Series (very witty), AND Girl With a Pearl Earring (about Vermeer, my favorite painter--the book is just as beautiful as the painting of the same name that inspred it, lovely book cover as well)...
