"A Voice in The Wind" By Francine Rivers
This book is a great book. I started reading the first two chapters in a couple of days. Then one day, I had nothing to do, so I decided to pick up that book I was reading. I read that whole book in one day!! I loved it. I couldn't put it down. It is a romance book with a lot of twisting adventures. It is actually one story, three books. The story is about three people, two people who are falling in love, and another guy who is a gladiator. This book is set in the Roman times and it is about this slave girl and her life story of meeting this rich Roman. It is a great story. I hope you'll try it. Hope this helps!!! : )

Among all the books that I have read, my all-time favorite will be The Alqemist by Paulo Coelho.
I think this is a little book that has a big read. It's quite thin but contains unbelivably deep meaning. With simple words and a simple fairy tale, Mr. Coelho tries to encourage the readers to pursue what they dream in their lives and make them come true. It has encouraged me, truly.

Any book can be. If while you read the book you learn something useful or you react to what you read, it was a good investment of time spent.

Any of the Harry Potter books. They bring you into a whole other world. They're all very well written and entertaining.

War & Remembrance and Winds of War by Hermann Wouk, are novels about WWII, you will feel like you were there. Any novel by Nelson DeMille, very cool main character if you like sarcasm.
