"The Five Love Languages" by Gary Chapman. It's so interesting! It discussed how every person has one main "love language" that they tend to do most often to show their love. These are giving gifts, quality time, words of affirmation, acts of service, and physical touch. Their love language is also the one that when they receive it, it means the most to them. It explains how you should try and show your love to your partner by using their love language so it means more to them. Great book you should read it!

My vote is to "The Cairo Trilogy" by Naguib Mahfouz, the Egyptian author who was awarded the Nobel Prize in literature in 1988, the only one author in the Arab world. In fact, I hadn't known/heard about him or his books before but I decided to buy a hardcover one published in the Everyman's Library series since its price's reasonable and, I thought, his literary prestige should be guaranteed by the Prize. Surprisingly, when I started reading, I simply couldn't stop it; therefore, I kept reading from Book I and finished Book III within some weeks.
I've since recommended this book/author to a lot of curious readers via this website. For instance, a lady traveling to stay/tour in Egypt next month (while in India) has chosen my answer as the best one after I've encouraged her to read "Palace Walk" (Book I) first.
It's a must for some interested in Muslim cultures/ways of life through great characters in the key families, it helped me understand more in their religion, faith and resolution. It's highly readable, understandable since it's wonderfully translated from Arab into English by a four-member team of scholars.
Read it and you'd be not disappointed.

the best book i read was "a dirty job" by christopher moore,
it is a hilarious book about a guy that becomes an apprentice to death, definitely worth looking into, everyone that's read it laughs before the end of the first chapter

"The Sun Also Rises" by Ernest Hemingway. I always despised Hemingway, I thought he was a mysogonist and a jerk and I never cared much for his writing style. Until I picked up TSAR. I was moved to tears in so many places in the book. It's a phenomenal story and the characters broke my heart.

Shadow Divers by Robert Kurson
It's about divers in NJ who found a sunken WWII U-boat. It's adventure, suspense, mystery, history, tragedy, and everything else wrapped up in one book! Outstanding!!
