A Prayer for Owen Meany, by John Irving, if you like profound takes on themes of friendship and spirituality.
East of Eden, by John Steinbeck, if you like big soapy family-drama epics.
Sophie's Choice, by William Styron, if you like part relationship drama, part history lesson, part mystery.
These are my top three all-time favorite take-to-a-desert-island books. But I also love...
Pride & Prejudice, by Jane Austen, if you like a little highbrow fun and a good love story!

For Mystery, The Stephanie Plum series by Janet Evanovich. It is very humorous and entertaining. Laugh out Loud reading...Love It!
For Fiction, John Grisham, the older stuff is better.

"1984"by George Orwell talked about the government spying on its people, annd he did it in 1948. "Brave New World" by Aldous Huxley introduced the idea of test tube babies long before invitro fertilization happened. Ray Bradbury's short stories showed us many inventions before they existed, such as wide screen TV. And of course, "Fahrenheit 451" talked about the pro's and con's of censorship. For pure fun and scares, Stephen King's "It," along with "Christine," "The Shining"and "Cujo"all showed how the printed word is more powerful than the filmed one.
