It seems that I am a romantic person because I really love romance stories!
My favourite book will be Wuthering Heights by Emily Bronte. I like the way she composed her story. Her story is a bit unusual. This is not a kind of story that will ends up happily ever after but this is the most interesting part and I will say that the dialogue is so powerful that you feel your heart ache so bad just by reading it. Anyone feeling the same?
And for non-fiction, I love reread my own diary. Just to get to know where I am right now. How can I be here today, etc... It's kind of interesting, reading back your own memory from the book. You laugh and cry at the same time and sometimes you just cannot recognize the person who was writing in the book (because you already change A LOT!) lol

My Favorite book would have to be, "The House on Mango Street", By Sandra Cisneros. It's a great story about a Puerto Rican girl who has come to live in America and deals with all sorts of issues like date rape, poverty and educational limitations! Great story about overcoming obstacles and learning to love who you are and where you came from!

Fiction: Lord of the Flies or Dune - the symbolism and overarching meanings are fantastic.
LotF leaves you wondering who will save mankind.
Dune is a brilliant allegory for Oil and the Middle East. Both are brilliant

A tie between Pride and Prejudice by Jane Austen and Dangerous Angels by Francesca Lia Block. Both have really great characters, are written in vastly different styles that I enjoy immensely, and have excellent plot lines. They make me happy when I read them.
