1. No Matter How Much You Promise to Cook or Pay the Rent You Blew It Cauze Bill Bailey Ain't Never Coming Home Again; A Symphonic Novel by Edgardo Vega Yunque
2. A Grave Talent by Laurie R. King
3. I Never Promised You a Rose Garden by Joanne Greenberg (This novelist has written many books over the last 40 years. If you want a serious, adult read about a complex topic, she cannot be beat. All of her books are incredibly good.)
4. The Outsider by Colin Wilson (When considering which of Wilson's many, many books to cite, I finally chose this one. It is his first successful bool. The Outsider is a study of the existential personality in history and fiction. All of his works, whether murder mystery, science fiction, psychology, musiciology, criminology, philosophy, or whatever in form) deal with the same concept: the search for that ultimate existential moment.)
5. And many, many more

Crime and Punishment - Fyodor Dostoevsky
Magician - Raymond E Feist
Assassin's Apprentice (and all other books in that series) - Robin Hobb. I have never fallen in love with a character like I fell for the Fool in this series - he has such a beautiful relationship with the main character, it makes me all warm and fuzzy inside!!
The Lord of the Rings trilogy - JRR Tolkien (soooooo much better than the movies, which were bloody awful in my opinion)
The World According to Garp - John Irving
and for a bit of action the Tomorrow, When the War Began series by John Marsden is really good.

The white dragon- Anne McCaffrey- sci fi fantasy genre.
A brief history of time- Stephen Hawking- Philosophy
Lord Valentines castle- Robert Silverberg- Sci fi fantasy genre.
The Celestine Prophecy- James Redfield-Bordering sci fi fantasy,religious adventure. Excellent speculation.
The chronicles of Mavin Manyshaped- Sheri S. Tepper- sci fi fantasy.
I normally stick with the sci fi genre as you can see but thought I would break it up with some other books I have read.

Left to Tell: Discovering God Amidst the Rwandan Holocaust
by Immaculee Ilibagiza, Steve Erwin
Immaculee Ilibagiza grew up in a country she loved, surrounded by a family she cherished. But in 1994 her idyllic world was ripped apart as Rwanda descended into a bloody genocide. Immaculee's family was brutally murdered during a killing spree that lasted three months and claimed the lives of nearly a million Rwandans. Incredibly, Immaculee survived the slaughter. For 91 days, she and seven other women huddled silently together in the cramped bathroom of a local pastor while hundreds of machete-wielding killers hunted for them. It was during those endless hours of unspeakable terror that Immaculee discovered the power of prayer, eventually shedding her fear of death and forging a profound and lasting relationship with God. She emerged from her bathroom hideout having discovered the meaning of truly unconditional love—a love so strong she was able seek out and forgive her family's killers. The triumphant story of this remarkable young woman's journey through the darkness of genocide will inspire anyone whose life has been touched by fear, suffering, and loss. This is Immaculee's first book.

Letters to a Young Brother: Manifest Your Destiny
by Hill Harper

Off camera, this Sacramento native has been equally versatile, winning degrees from Brown University and Harvard Law School and pursuing a successful business career. Harper's Letters to a Young Brother don't flaunt his success; rather, he draws on the diverse lessons it has taught him.
