well, it isn't cliche to me, and it is the Bible. Through the Bible and the Spirit it has given me direction in my life and answers to life's toughest questions. Whenever I'm at a loss, I find comfort there.
the book that left the second biggest impact on my life was Jane Eyre, by Charlotte Bronte. It was a beautiful story of how one is rewarded by remaining true to your convictions.

The Bible is a very profound book to me. However, since you have asked what is my favorite fiction/non fiction book, I would say One Hundred Years of Solitude by Gabriel Garcia Marquez. He is a Colombian writer who will transport you to a ficticious town called Macondo, where the surreal things, unheard, absurd things occur. You will see Macondo in NYC, Chicago, Los Angeles, San Juan, Paris. . .in every big city in the World. . . You will like it. One Hundred Years of Solitude is well translated to English. I know that because I recommended it to a friend of mine from the U of Wisconsin who read it in English, and she liked it!
If you want to know more information about the author here is the source.
Happy Reading!

King Fortis the Brave - I first read it while I was studying to be an English teacher and I loved it on two levels. First of all, it was a great book with lots of action and characters that were easy to identify with. Secondly, I could see myself using it in the classroom to get my students excited about reading. When I finally graduated and got a classroom of my own I was able to use the book and it is wonderful seeing my students devour the book and then eagerly discuss it afterwards.

'Walden' by Thoreau.
When I read it in a first year university class, I infuriated my professor by complaining that it was poorly written; that it rambled, and refused to make a point. But, as the years have past, I've found that it is the book that I can always make reference to, regardless of the subject in question, because it has clear values. Values which ultimately I agree with: living simply, with integrety, and independence.

Interesting Side note: T.C. is his real and true original name. This book was dedicated to his father in the navy, one "Commander Cool". Awesome, no?
