To Kill A Mockingbird by Harper Lee....it really is quite different from most other books or storylines that you could come across because it doesnt deal with a typical situation....the book teaches you so much about life in such a non instructional way...beautiful book and one that deserves to be read and revered by many people.

Just Pick a book, See the Title, whether it impress you. Just read the front page or the back side of the cover page , if you find interesting go ahead......
Most of the books tells some good messages...either directly or indirectly.........
How i choose the books to read
1. Must be small in size and less in number of pages
2. Attractive titles and sometimes authors( i am not biased though
3. Attractive brief notes on the cover pages ( both the sides)
4. Price(need not be a constraint always)
5. Feed back from friends(Questioning here)

Tigana by Guy Gabriel Kay. It is set in a world of magic where a Wizard Warlord takes away the name of a country from the minds of all who were not born there. The story is about the Prince of that realm who travels the land as a troubadour trying to destroy the magician and so bring back the name.

My favorite book is "Gone With the Wind" by Margaret Mitchell. Since that one has already been suggested to you, I'll recommend a few others:
"The Kite Runner" by Khaled Hosseini
"Memoirs of a Geisha" by Arthur Golden
"The Five People You Meet in Heaven" by Mitch Albom
"The Secret Life of Bees " by Sue Monk Kidd
"Snow Flower and the Secret Fan" by Lisa See
"These is My Words" by Nancy Turner
"The Time Traveler's Wife" by Audrey Niffenegger
"Middlesex" by Jeffrey Eugenides
"Rush Home Road" by Lori Lansens
"The Girls" by Lori Lansens

The Power of One, by Bryce Courtany is fantastic. I also rate Gone With The Wind, if you have the patience (it takes awhile to get started) Murder on the Orient Express by Agatha Christie (if you've never seen the movie) Checkers by John Marsden or The Lovely Bones by Alice Seebold.

The wind up bird chronicle or anything by Haruki Murukami - my next best favourite of his is Hard Boiled Wonderland and the End of the World.
I can't recommend his his noirish, hard boiled, metaphysical style enough.
I also like James Ellroy - start at the beginning and work through his work for gritty, realistic 50's / 60's crime fiction.

Gosh there's so many, but if you like thought provoking books try The Alchemist by Paolo Coehlo - he's a fantastic author who really captures your mind. The Celestine Prophecy - can't remember the authors name and Angels and Demons by Dan Brown are brilliant too. just thinking about it Arthur Goldens' Memoirs of a Geisha is a great read too!

Hmm. that's tough. "The Tao Te Ching" by Lao Tzu would be up there and so would "Illusions: The Adventures of a Reluctant Messiah" by Richard Bach. For just fun I'd say "The Armageddon Inheritance" by David Weber
