Oh sure too many of them..
I'll mention couple.
Lets start with Johann Wolfgang von Goethe and his famous 'Faust'. A wonderful book, about sooo many things, including the most amazing character ever, Mefistofel.
Then, Bulgakov's 'Master and Margarita'. VERY broad book, 3 plots, around 500 characters, continues the theme of grown Mefistofel. Basically, Master and Faust are the books that helped me to find my own point of view to religion, and express it in words.
Then, the amazing Hermann Hesse. 'Steppenwolf', having the incredible influence of words. a book that doesnt leave you indefferent, you either love it or hate it. 'Sidharta', the book that encourages to look for the inner peace. 'Demian', for saying taht we are different, and that it hurts to be one. Hesse overall, for emphasizing the power of meditation.
My beloved Dostoevsky. 'The Idiot', sooo great and soo shocking masterpiece. Again, covering so many themes, but also being a sad love story. 'The Kamarazov Brothers', even broader than 'The Idiot', but also very painful. Both gives you something to think about. Hail hail Dostoevsky for saying that teh only place where one can find happiness is suffering.

I do each and every so often get innovations from thinking approximately variations i'd have made to books i've got examine. and each so often, you do no longer learn how to circumvent a flaw until you have considered it in something you at the instant are not for my area invested in. i think of that's fairly extra advantageous than being stimulated with the help of excellent books, through fact your writing is far less probably to be derivative. Um, BeautyBlitz, I would desire to declare, Eragon wasn't the worst e book ever, although if it examine like a compilation of fantasy archetypes. And my adventure of the regularly occurring public of its fan base ability that the Inheritance Trilogy has in basic terms in part replaced comedian books interior the obsessions of preteen to early teen-age boys, and not something extra - which does recommend that it has distinctive readers.

1. The Neverending Story bu Michael Ende
Because... It is the deepest book I have ever red. And it has so many levels. I red it when I was 10 or so and it was great than. And when I grow older I red it several more times and realized that it isn't simply kid book, but deep philosophical story with the most clear explanation of God, life and death.
2. Jonathan Livingstone: The Seagull by Richard Bach
Because it showed me that the only limits in our lives are limits that we make.

Shantaram, Gregory David Roberts.
not quite sure what you mean by 'motivate why' I can tell you why I like it.
The characters are incredibly human. You get to know them so well through his eyes. You get a sense that it is a book he had to write, not chose to write. And he takes you to places you would never want to go but often wonder about, he shows you the briliant light that shines in spite of the very darkest ways of humanity. And its true.
Sorry if you were expecting a whole bunch of classics here, but I have to be honnest.

Sorry but I don't remember the author, and I don't have the book anymore...
The book was Cat Tales or Tails.... I read it so long ago, but I remember the story.
It was, of course, about cats. It was about a tomcat, whos lady cat love was catnapped. He sets out to find her, and goes thru a lot of adventures looking for her. He meets many other cats and animals in his search.
The book was so well written, that you had the feeling that you were right there with him in his search. He eventually finds her, and there is a twist to the ending....but I am not going to tell you what it is....just in case you find the book and read it.

Well it depend on you're personal taste. I really enjoyed "Pop goes the Weasel" by James Patterson. Its a psycho thriller, but the story is super fantastic, you just can't put the book down. Then if you are in the mood for some deep emotional stuff try some of Virginia Andrew's books, you will specially appreciate these novels if you are female. If you can get your hand on some of this reading material. go for it.Enjoy!

The Mists of Avalon by Marion Zimmer Bradley is at the top of my favorites list because she writes such a compelling side to an age old tale that made me reevaluate the way I looked at the Arthur myth. Having always been a fan of that myth and time, it was a great motivator for looking at the myth with a new perspective.

Definitely "Men are from Mars, Women are from Venus" by John Gray. This book is very useful as a relationship guide. It discusses the areas on why men&women would often have a misunderstanding. Try it, you will learn a lot and understand a lot.
