Please don't say the Bible or anything like that. All religious books are based on someones faith, and it's wrong to put any of them down.

i'm sorry but i have to give a cliche answer but i can back it up with a pretty good argument.
i LOVE Cinderella! ya i know its not only just a fictional story, it goes to the extent of being a fairy tale as well.
i read the book and then watched the movie.
the story talks abt how helpful cinderella is, how caring she is to animals, she wakes up early morning to do chores, she was more or less a simple girl who had big dreams and she believed that if u tell someone ur wish (ie.dream) ur wish won't come true.
In simple present context you can say that telling someone ur wish and it won't come true is direct translation of people bragging and bragging about what they want to do and achieve but never getting it done - all fart, no ****.
i remember watching the movie and i wanted to be just like her. because she would clean and cook, i would clean my room and help my mum cook. she was nice to animals and fed them and she kept the garden clean- i would do stuff like that too.
i know this sounds really silly but it was really an inspirational book for a little girl.
ps. please don't laugh at this :) i've never told anyone this!

The best story that comes to mind is The Barracks Thief by Tobias Wolff, however my favorite (and extremely well-written) novel is The Liar's Club by Mary Karr.
And yes, The Lovely Bones is runner-up to The Liar's Club!

It's a short story but I love all of Poe's work. I think its incredible. The Cask of Amontillado is probably my favorite short story. I mostly like to read non-fictional books, however i did like The Da Vinci Code. To some it's considered a non-fiction and to others a complete fiction but i loved that story.

For me, To Kill a Mockingbird. Unlike most people, I didn't read this until I was well into my adult years, and it had a profound impact upon me. I've read many, many great novels, but I don't think any has made me cry as hard as this one, nor has haunted me as long.
It's funny, warm, intriguing, and heartbreaking. It's also a very accessible and easy to read novel, which is why it is probably on most high school curriculums. It's also the only book that Homer Simpson ever read, which should count for something :)

I was going to say Harry Potter (1-6) but somebody already took that so I'll go with the Series of Unfortunate Events by Lemony Snicket.
