I have two favs
Anne Frank Diary of a Young Girl and To Kill a Mockingbird.
Anne Frank, beacuse it is true and it is eloquently written.
TKAM, because it is just AWESOME......the innocence of children and how Scout likes Mr. Radley or boo.....

Wow, there are some great answers out there. I love Helen Keller, I read her bio at least a million times in school and then read it again with mt children. I never read The Stand, I did however watch the mini series. Loved it!!!
Where the Red Fern GRows.... do you have a tissue??? Fabulous book.
All of you will have to vote, I can't choose they are all good books, those that I have read I'm biased; I will look into some of the others.

I love "where the red fern grows". Its about friendship, adventure, legends and learning to deal with loss. Its really amazing.
I have read Anne Frank and To kill a mocking bird, both are awesome too

I have read both books you mentioned and loved them both. Still have TKAM, but can't find my Anne Frank, must have lost that one while moving when growing up. Both are great books with lessons to be learned, but the one book I would have to say that really, really touched me was Hellen Keller. To know there was once a great woman who over came being blind and deaf and to suceed the way she did, amazing to say the least! Credit does have to go to Annie Sullivan for staying with it and never giving up!

My favorite novels are the ones from the Twilight Series by Stephenie Meyer: Twilight, New Moon, and Eclipse. They are my favorites because they touched my heart, you know made me feel all the emotions you can get from reading a book except dissapointment. Plus, their plots, characters, dialogs, and descriptions were well developed.

Still Life with Crows by Lincoln Child and Douglas Preston. I have never read anything so well written and so unpredictable. The main character is flawlessly written and because of that book I will never walk through cornfields by myself at night.

The Stand by Stephen King. Its a classic tale of good versus evil set in modern times.

The Painted Veil by W. Somorset Maugham. I just love this book, because it really portrays the characters as real people and you love them, even with their flaws. It's sent in the 1920's and it has a really interesting plot. It's about this woman Kitty and when she cheats on her husband and he finds out, he decides to punish her by taking her with him when he goes to an ancient Chinese city caught in a Cholera epedemic. You should check it out if you haven't already.

"A Book Dragon" by Donn Kushner, because the dragon family was so well explained, how dragons "work;" then the young dragon is left alone and we begin to see a tapestry of both dragon activity and that of the actual history of Great Britain. A wonderous picture and it's very exciting!

The Twilight Series because when we read them we fell what the main character feels. It's really really good. The best books I've ever read.
