My favourite is "Don Quixote" by Miguel de Cervantes. I read it every couple of years. But it's long and old, so, in the interest of something you can read in, say, a week's time, here are some other great books:

1. Candide, by Voltaire (very funny)
2. Madame Bovary, by Flaubert
3. A Clockwork Orange, by Anthony Burgess
4. 1984, by George Orwell (ANYTHING by Orwell)
5. The Posthumous Memoirs of Bras Cubas, by Machado De Assis
6. The Glass Bead Game, by Herman Hesse
7. Crime and Punishment, Dostoevsky (sorry, it's long too)
8. The Bell Jar, Sylvia Plath
9. Frankenstein, Mary Shelley
10. Oliver Twist, Dickens (with the eponymous character artful dodger)

Answer 4

I love to kill a mokingbird. It is a great book. Another good book is The Piano Lesson by August Wilson. Here is a summary of the book from Amazon.com: "The Merriam-Webster Encyclopedia of Literature
Drama in two acts by August Wilson, produced in 1987 and published in 1990. The play, which was awarded a Pulitzer Prize in 1990, is part of Wilson's cycle about African-American life in the 20th century. The action takes place in Pittsburgh in 1936 at the house of a family of African-Americans who have migrated from Mississippi. The conflict centers around a piano that was once traded by the family's white master for two of the family's ancestors. Boy Willie and Berniece, the siblings who inherit the piano (carved to show family history), argue about whether or not to sell it. Berniece's climactic refusal to allow Boy Willie to move the piano exorcises both the literal and figurative ghost of the white slave owner who has been haunting the family. --This text refers to an out of print or unavailable edition of this title (http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/0452265347/sr=1-7/qid=1153572871/ref=sr_1_7/002-2178231-6658448?ie=UTF8&s=books)."

Answer 6

Wow, a book that i love is "Atlas Shrugged" by Ann Rand.

be prepared it is quite a book, deep thought and commentary on the rise of a socialist society, and the usurping of private property for the 'good of the people'.

it is an older book but i see that doesn't frighten you. Don't cheat yourself though the character explanation and development is an invaluable and intricate part of the book. Afterword, you too may ask "Who is John Gault?"

Happy reading!

Avalible at most public libraries, if they don't have it try interlibrary loan.

Answer 7

The Boy in the Striped Pajamas something via Jane Austen (delight and Prejudice is terrific!) Atonement (no longer plenty the action picture) The Sisterhood of vacationing Pants sequence Diary of Anne Frank flowers for Algernon long previous with the Wind Anne of eco-friendly Gables (and something of those books) The Wind in the Willows Alice in Wonderland and in the direction of the looking Glass circulate ask Alice i understand that a number of those are straightforward reads yet they're all solid. :-) I do relatively like Harry Potter and Twilight sequence, yet considering you do no longer choose them indexed I won't!

Answer 8

Lots of books to recommend.

Count of Montecristo by Alexander Dumas.The hero is Edmond Dantés, a young French sailor who, falsely accused of treason, is arrested on his wedding day and imprisoned in the island fortress of Château d'If. After staging a dramatic escape he sets out to discover the fabulous treasure of Monte Cristo and catch up with his enemies. A novel of enormous tension and excitement, Monte Cristo is also a tale of obsession and revenge, with Dantés, believing himself to be an `Angel of Providence', pursuing his vengeance to the bitter end before realizing that he himself is a victim of fate.The author did a great job describing the emotions of the prisoner.Disbelief,denial,self pity,madness,apathy and finally hope.For God's sake don't see any of the movies based on the book.They don't do justice to the book.

The door to december by Dean Koontz.A psychiatrist's daughter was kidnapped by her ex-husband years ago. When the daughter is finally found, the real fight begins. One by one the people who held her captive become mysteriously tortured and killed. Everyone is afraid the young girl will be next.

The mystery unravels as to what happened to the young girl while she was kidnapped. The young girl, Melanie, is unable to speak, but her mother soon learns that the young girl went through extreme torture as her father used her for a rat in his experiments.

Scaramouche by Rafael Sabatini.When his best friend, a young clergyman, is killed in a mockery of a duel by an arrogant noble, just to quiet his eloquent expressions of democratic ideals, Andre-Louis Moreau vows revenge. From that point, through meteoric careers as a consummate actor and scenario writer, then as a fencing master, and finally a politician, the brilliant Moreau keeps thwarting the aims of the aristocratic Marquis de la Tour d'Azyr. However, the nobleman causes pain to Moreau as well, and the time must come when the two will meet to settle their enmity once and for all. You are not likely to guess how their confrontation finally turns out. Set against the backdrop of the French Revolution, this swashbuckling novel is exciting throughout, and it presents one of the most dashing heroes in fiction, a man who can fight equally well with his mind, his mouth, his pen, and his sword, a man who stirs up events wherever he goes.
