NIGHT by Elie Wiesel.
I absolutely HATE reading, but I read this in high school, and I absolutely LOVE it!
It's about the Holocaust. The writer, Elie Wiesel, was IN the holocaust. He was a very young boy when it happened and this is a story about his life and the pain that he (and many others) went through.
Its a great story, especially if you like reading about history.

Honestly, I would have to say Swan Song, by Robert MacCammon. On the surface, it is a book about the aftermath of nuclear war, but its actually so much more. It shows the determination of the human spirit, the innate kindness and love we have inside all of us, and the will to make our future a brighter place. Wonderful plot - real genuine characters that are totally believable - 900+ pages of wonder.
I have read this book probably 10 times and I get something else out of it each time I re-read it. Definitely check it out.

The best book that I have read is Twilight by Stephenie Meyer
I love this book with all my heart I have never liked a book than I have with this one. Is a really long book and is about a Vampire kid that falls in love with a young women but also he fell in love with her blood. So he is struggeling and his love towards her knocks out the tirst he has in him. This is a great book because it uses imagery a lot and you get to imply yourself in this book. Also there is a second part to it "New moon" and the third part "eclips" is going to come in 2007

The Brothers Karamazov by Fyodor Dostoyvesky. It is not an easy read but it is moving, though provoking, and very symbolic.
