What to choose, what to choose. I love everything by Jodi Picoult, but especially My Sister's Keeper, and The Pact. She have a lovely way with words, and describes her characters so well, you feel like you've known them forever.
Another book that really blew me away is Glaspigen (The Glass Girl) by Danish Karin Dyhr and Marianne Holmen.
It's based on Karins life, from being sexually abused by her father, to being in and out of the psychiatric hospitals more than 70 times, after developing borderline disorder, as a reaction to the abuse.
I couldn't put it down - it describes in great ways how the system develops through the years, and all the pain she went through.
It inspires you to never give up - she kept fighting, both against the disease, and her memories, but also against a system that had no understanding of what she needed to overcome the disease. It tells about how she worked her way through it all, and is now living a normal live.

The BEST book I have ever read was the Historian, by Elizabeth Kostova. It's long, but it has everything a good book needs. It takes place in Europe, and the main character is going on a search for Dracula's past, as well as his body and children. I know that what I just said sounds like a stocker book, but once you read it, that's the jest of it. I LOVED IT THOUGH!!!

All Quiet on the Western Front, By Erich Maria Lemarque. But my favorite author is Tim O'Brien. I like ALL of his books.
